The Comedian's Guide to Survival (2016) Reviews

  • The Comedian's Guide to Survival is absolutely hilarious! My favourite comedy of 2016 by far!

    refuseliam-288-28662016-12-07

    Where do I begin? The Comedian's Guide to Survival literally had me howling from start to finish, James Buckley puts in a tour de force performance as up and coming comedian James Mullinger, trying to find his footing in the world of stand up comedy, whilst balancing his day job from his demanding boss. Coming to a cross-roads, James must choose between his life long passion of stand up comedy, or losing his job entirely. This movie follows the life-affirming real life journey of comedian James Mullinger, and will have you smiling from ear to ear, with hilarious one liners, and a refreshing take on the "movie about comedians genre" Any movie that has the line "...Chowing down on a lot of producer dong!" is certainly worthy of your time. Highly recommended!

  • I would have rather pegged my b**loc*s to the washing line than watch this.

    "A comedy is a professional entertainment consisting of jokes and sketches, intended to make an audience laugh." This is not a comedy because it is not funny. It should be renamed "Idiots survival guide to watching this film without dying of boredom", or 'Tragedy' as this most accurately summarizes everything about this film - tragic. Aliens is more of a comedy. It certainly made me laugh more than this trash. The lead character is okay. He is not funny which is the idea I guess. The only positive thing I get from this film, is the concept that I could direct my local preschool to produce a better more entertaining show. The lead female character is portrayed as homemaking and abusive. The strong female character is a narcissist. The supporting characters should go home. The manager is a complete moob. Character and acting. There could have been some real moments of laugh out loud. But no. Every opportunity wasted. I would have rather pegged my b**loc*s to the washing line than watch this.

  • Hilarious portrayal of a comedian's journey

    jim-mackinley2017-01-03

    The Comedian's Guide to Survival portrays a man struggling to succeed in one of the world's toughest industries, Stand-up Comedy. That man is James Mullinger, who is wonderfully played by James Buckley of The Inbetweeners. Buckley's comedic charm is complemented by a sense of vulnerability allowing the audience to join him on a seemingly empathetic (and hilarious) journey. Buckley delivers an excellent performance here. The lead breaks the fourth wall in a very unique way, allowing the film to poke fun at the "breaking the fourth wall" technique. This film will surely appeal to more than just the aspiring stand-up audience as the core themes of persistence, hard work, and building strong relationships shine through. The film's message is clear that stand-up comedy is not a profession you simply "fall into", rather an uphill battle of practice and timing that creates experiences you will not soon forget. You will certainly not forget The Comedian's Guide To Survival.

  • A Survival Guide that Leads to Demise

    Cem_Topuz2019-03-03

    I'm a victim of "25 movies bla. bla." list on this one. The list have some other movies that are actually good and i had the idea, this one also needs a chance, but it fails spectacularly. Not funny at all. It gives the impression that whoever made this movie tries to create a cult film with all it's characters and dialogue. That boss. Are you serious?? What a bad caricature! The lead character had interviews with "famous" -i guess- comedians that I don't know if they are real or fabricated. And movie is so miserably portrays them that it didn't engage you to look out for them. If they really exist or what's their material sounds like. They represented pretty boring. So, nothing to see here, just turn around and forget about this guide which if watched completely could eventually kill you by boredom.

  • The worst film ever made

    crafferty-124992018-12-06

    This is genuinely the worst film Ever made. I made it 18 minutes in so can't get a fair judgement I suppose. But that 18 minutes felt like a lifetime. Lead actor James whatever gives a worse performance than Melania trump acting as though she doesn't hate her husband. Honestly so bad
