Cue
What Reelgood users are saying

Robin Williams shines in a dark satire that critiques society's obsession with tragedy and fame. The film, directed by Bobcat Goldthwait, uses cringe humor for social commentary. However, its provocative themes and unlikable characters may be off-putting and uncomfortable for some viewers.

Rating: 7.2/10 ⭐️The Good:• Dark Satire: The film is a fearless black comedy that explores our culture's hypocritical obsession with tragedy and fame. • Brilliant Performance: Robin Williams delivers a nuanced and brave performance as Lance Clayton, balancing desperation and comedic brilliance. • Unflinching Direction: Bobcat Goldthwait's direction is unapologetic, using cringe humor to make sharp social commentary.The Not So Good:• Provocative Subject Matter: The film's core subject matter is intentionally provocative and may be off-putting for some audiences. • Extreme Character: The character of Kyle is designed to be devoid of redeeming qualities, making him difficult to watch. • Uncomfortable Viewing: The film's commitment to cringe comedy and challenging themes makes it a deliberately uncomfortable viewing experience.
