Watch The Comedy Movie Online No Survey On the cusp of inheriting his father's estate, Swanson (Tim Heidecker, "Tim & Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!") is a man with unlimited options. An aging hipster in Brooklyn, he spends his days in aimless recreation with like-minded friends ("Tim & Eric" co-star Eric Wareheim, LCD Soundsystem frontman James Murphy and comedian Gregg Turkington a.k.a."Neil Hamburger") in games of comic irreverence and mock sincerity. As Swanson grows restless of the safety a sheltered life offers him, he tests the limits of acceptable behavior, pushing the envelope in every way he can. Heidecker's deadpan delivery cleverly masks a deep desire for connection and sense in the modern world. The Comedy wears its name on its sleeve, but director Rick Alverson's powerful and provocative character study touches a darkness behind the humor that resonates with viewers long after the story ends.

Review For The Comedy
None of this is necessarily funny. That's the extent of the irony here. Wesley Morris-Boston Globe The joke, I guess, is that there's nothing funny about "The Comedy." Barbara VanDenburgh-Arizona Republic A mean-spirited piece of mumblecore that tries to provoke you, but only succeeds in boring you. David Lewis-San Francisco Chronicle A character study that tries to make the revolting compelling. Kyle Smith-New York Post If you can discern any critical distance or interesting perspective here, or even a good reason to spend 90 minutes in such company, I'm afraid the joke is on you. A.O. Scott-New York Times The movie may critique its antihero, but it also offers just one more venue in which he's allowed to wallow - while we pay his way. Elizabeth Weitzman-New York Daily News The longest and dreariest 94 minutes I've spent on a movie this year. Moira MacDonald-Seattle Times [A] relentlessly aimless, abrasive stab at black humor. Gerald Peary-Boston Phoenix All this is credible enough until Swanson exits the airtight bubble of his peers to bully New York City at large. Leah Churner-Austin Chronicle Pushing the boundaries of taste isn't necessarily a bad thing, but the film is so busy daring its audience to hurl insults that it forgets to simply be funny. Todd Jorgenson-Cinemalogue.com A billion times better than Tim and Eric's Billion Dollar Movie. Matt Pais-RedEye It's a long, painful sit that claws at interpretational ambition, but only nails the rare moment of enlightenment, wasting 90 minutes of screentime to acquire about 15 minutes worth of substance. Brian Orndorf-Blu-ray.com [A] faux-courageous nondrama. Joshua Rothkopf-Time Out New York The Comedy may not aspire to be the portrait of a generation, but it certainly offers a scary dissection of a faux-careless Brooklynite sensibility that threatens to be the undoing of everyone involved. Ted Scheinman-Paste Magazine An unconventional, unapologetic comedy that's unbelievably entertaining. Chase Whale-We Got This Covered Its audience may be self-selective in the extreme, but few films have better articulated the limits of irony as a force field against the world. Scott Tobias-AV Club Tim Heidecker's Swanson does not amuse us in spite of the pity he inspires but because of it. Joseph Jon Lanthier-Slant Magazine
