5.0 out of 5 stars Is it a comedy? I'd say it is (in a bleak, nihilistic, dry, and slightly disturbing way)
Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 2013

In the age of cinema era, where mainstream films, and even some independent films, are terrifyingly horrid, The Comedy definitely brings something to the table. Usually I am the type of person who would have to watch OLDER films to get the blissfulness I've felt from cinema every since I got into them; most films nowadays sadly cannot impress or make me feel the way those classic films or independent films made me feel. However, here's a little slice of experimental arthouse film. I love how it pretty much is split up into vignettes while following this main character (played by Tim Heidecker), while also venturing into the world of these friends he hangs out with. They aren't your conventional friends you meet everyday; however they are, as disgusting as they can get(and quite comedic), unique characters in their own ways. I'd have to say, the ending scene is probably my favorite scene with the girl on the boat, but I won't spoil that for any curious viewers out there. And also, as an aspiring filmmaker, this is the type of films I'd love to make as well. Although, if you are looking for something "entertaining", I'd say this really isn't your film. What can I say, I'm a pretentious arthouse cinema fan.

4.0 out of 5 stars What do you expect?

I swear, this guy cracks me up a lot of the time. But this movie in typical fashion you know from Hiedecker.

I honestly don’t know what to say about this movie other than it has its moments and I went in knowing what to expect and it delivered on that. I don’t see myself watching it again anytime soon. It had some dark moments and no denying there is probably a scene or two in this movie that’ll make you a tad uncomfortable.

The movie could’ve been called “Tim Heidecker makes you uncomfortable“ and I’d have picked it up.
If you’re a fan of his style of humor, pick this up and experience it for yourself.

5.0 out of 5 stars brilliant on several levels
Reviewed in the United States on May 24, 2014

Lots of great reviews here! Won't go into too much detail - most of it's been covered by others here. Just like to say that I too feel this is more of an existential film than a critique of hipsters. Swanson has all the money he needs, all the creature comforts, yet he feels like he's missing out on something. The entire movie seems to be about him trying to find some sort of genuine and novel experience. He's trying to break out of his comfort zone. I almost see this as a prequel to Swanson's potential enlightenment and liberation from his current brain's "operating system".

Also, and this is probably saying a lot about me, but I haven't laughed out loud so many times since the first time I saw Awesome Show. It's almost like a really well-shot 90 minute long Awesome Show skit. Whether you can laugh at this or not, it gets the coveted five stars! The DVD also comes with deleted scenes and commentary by the director and Tim.

3.0 out of 5 stars It's Difficult to Rate Such an Enigmatic Film
Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2014

First off: this film is NOT for most people. BUT...if you like something that is challenging and wildly different...you've hit the jackpot with THE COMEDY. There is virtually no plot to speak of. This is a psychological character piece, so the plot is not of paramount importance. The lead character is desperate to connect with other people but terrified to do so. Hence, he behaves repulsively almost all of the time in order to test people. It's an improvisational journey that fascinated me. Also, there are moments of pure honesty that leap out at you amidst all the banal behavior exhibited by the characters. It's challenging to watch and it will be way too much for some people, so I can't really recommend the film, but I'm glad I checked it out. I've never seen a film quite like THE COMEDY.

This movie isn't for just anyone. The subject matter is not for the faint of heart. If you enjoy films with an original and unique theme or even art films; you'd enjoy this extremely dark comedy. Tim Heidecker really pulls off his character in this movie. The Comedy is now one of my favorite of his works.
