Movie Reviews of The King of Comedy

Movie Review: DeNiro's best as you Squirm with discomfort..
Summary: 5 Stars

DeNiro's finest role. This movie has so many ackward and uncomfortable moments but you cannot turn away. It is like a train wreck for Rupert at times. His brand of comedy swerves between corny and sheer brilliance but somehow you find yourself cheering for this bizarre, obsessive man. Its moral is not unlike that of Taxi Driver. You have a fragile, disturbed man who at one moment is making terrible decisions and in the next is a hero. And the few who know the truth are left scratching their heads in dis-belief. My favorite Scorcese film.

Movie Review: The King of Comedy
Summary: 5 Stars

I saw this movie years ago and portions of it stayed with me, kept teasing at my memory until I had to purchase it and watch it again. Just as good this second time around. Great acting by DeNiro, Bernhard and Lewis. King of Comedy gives us a glimpse of what celebrities must go through -- of course, from the stalker's point of view. Scary thing is... the stalking, the mental instability, the way they're pursuing their dreams and goals seems so logical. Once you watch King of Comedy you won't be able to erase it from your memory.

Movie Review: Deniro's most underrated film?
Summary: 5 Stars

I think this is definatley the most underrated film for Marty/Deniro and possibly even for Deniro. King of Comedy is the portral of Rupert Pupkin who has dreams of late night television. Robert DeNiro gives one of his best performances to date as the slightly nuerotic Rupert Pupkin. Also stars Sandra Bernhardt a crazed fan of Jerry Lewis, together Deniro and Bernhardt are hilarious. King of Comedy is one not to be missed and we see Deniro & Marty at the top of their game.

Movie Review: Greatest Film Ever - "I wouldn't lie to you Rupe!"
Summary: 5 Stars

How often do you see a film for the first time in which you get so embarrased for the star you want to press stop every 15 minutes! Once you've made it past the first viewing, you're gunna really enjoy watching this one over and over again - it gets better everytime! I've never laughed so hard watching a movie in my entire life!! It's totally original and nothing can compare to it. Thank you for making this Marty and thank you Bobby for talking him into doing it!

Movie Review: Not to Be MIssed
Summary: 5 Stars

I saw this film when I was a young pup and loved it. Now many years later, I find it is just as much the odd and edgy little gem it was so many years ago! DeNiro delivered one of his finest performances. It pains me to see such a great actor reduced to doing stupid Ben Stiller Hollywood comedies today. But, I suppose he has to pay the bills. In any event, see THE KING OF COMEDY - a film that never really got the praise it deserves.
