This movie has three distinct segments. The first is about actual hecklers of stand up comedians. The second is an over-reaching view on criticism in society, its effect on the criticized and what it reflects on the critic. The third is about how blogging and the internet have ex...( read more)
Some funny observations that are made a little more funny by the editor's timing ... sort of like the way a drumroll accentuates a punch line. Jamie Kennedy plays a large role and takes the emphasis off hecklers and points it at Internet critics. I began with a little admiration ...( read more)
Why hecklers suck, okay. How critical our society has become, alright. Why online films critics suck specifically, you lost me.

I have to say, it seems a little ironic to be reviewing this one, given the subject matter. Lol. I don't watch too many documentaries. I've found that I have to be extremely interested in the topic at hand in order to *really* get into one. Since I'm a fan of Jamie Kennedy, howev...( read more)
