Movie Reviews of When Stand Up Stood Out
Movie Review: Born near Boston? Gotta love comedy!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I was born and raised just outside of Boston, where I lived for the first 20 years of my life. When I moved to Florida, I realized that the rest of the world was not at all like 'we' were!! The sarcasm and wit inherent to New Englanders, and Bostonians in particular, is something to behold!!
The first time I saw "When Stand Up Stood Out", I was almost on the floor laughing so hard at times!! It is so honest, so true to form, and so rich with the texture of Boston as it really was.... I have watched it many times since, and every time, I enjoy it just as much!!
I definately recommend this, especially to fellow Yankees (not NY) ha, ha!! It's a great and interesting documentary on some very funny history!!
Summary of When Stand Up Stood Out
Cash. Debauchery. Excess. Success! It's no coincidence that some of the most cutting edge comics of this generation came out of the same city, at the same time. The Boston gold rush of the late 70s and early 80s was considered by many as the flashpoint of the biggest national stand-up explosion ever. A scene boiling over with comedians possessed with that precarious blend of originality, pure desire, and good old fashioned desperation.Through a series of candid interviews, old news reports and never before seen bootleg footage, we'll get an unfiltered and hilarious view of the people who came up here and what they did to survive, emerge and where they are today.
Follow 20 year comedy veteran Fran Solomita as he takes a revealing journey back to this extraordinary time. An escalation that began with about 2 dozen comedy clubs scattered across the country and at the peak, ballooned to over 450 full-time rooms operating nationwide, spawning a gigantic new wave of comedians that we know and love today.
