Hi. I recently watched a new film named The Comedian. The Comedian is a comedy film that stars Robert De Niro. The film also has Leslie Mann, Harvey Keitel, and Danny DeVito. The film has gotten mostly bad reviews on Rotten Tomatoes, but I decided to check out the film.

The Plot:

In The Comedian Robert De Niro plays Jackie Burke. Mr. Burke is a former sitcom actor who has a rough work life as a comedian. Although Mr. Burke is good at getting his audiences to laugh he has anger problems. Also Mr. Burke gets a into a relationship with a woman who also has work problems.

The film's plot is actually really good. Mr. Burke does lots of bad things. A normal comedy film will have characters like Mr. Burke start off bad, but learn to be better. Mr. Burke barely improves or learn anything. Because of that The Comedian is a brilliantly written dark comedy.

The Cast:

Although The Comedian has various famous actors the film is mostly focused on Robert De Niro's character. Robert is a awesome actor and because of that his performance in The Comedian is fantastic. Robert does a good job at getting his rude character to be likeable and charming. I really like Robert's character, Mr. Burke. Mr. Burke is kind of harsh, but he's charmingly honest and entertaining. The rest of the cast is pretty good, but Robert upstages everybody else.

The Humor:

I was surprised at how raunchy the film is. The film has lots of dark, but clever and fun comedy. It's 1 of the best written comedy films that I've ever watched. The last scene is the funniest film ending that I've watched.

Overall:

The Comedian is a great dark comedy film that's worth seeing for people that really like dark comedy. It's also worth watching if you really like Robert De Niro.
