The Comedian

Robert De Niro is hilarious as Jackie Burke, an insult comic best remembered for his role on an old TV sitcom. When a dust-up with an audience member lands the acerbic Jackie in community service, he meets Harmony (Leslie Mann), who’s also serving out a rage-induced sentence. Thanks to their unlikely connection, Jackie begins to see life through a much less anger-fueled haze. With Danny DeVito, Edie Falco, Charles Grodin, Harvey Keitel, and a host of comedic cameos. 119 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English.
