Don't listen to the negative reviews

Your blood may run cold, but you now find yourself pinioned to the story.

The movie runs out of plot and jokes well before the end of a two-hour running time, long for a light comedy.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

My friend got this and said he heard rave things about the movie. We sat down to watch it, and in 45 minutes, nobody laughed. It was horrible. Bruce Vilanch's humor is canned, non-spontaneous, and chuckingly topical. When he says he goes to an area and scans a newspaper to make jokes and prepare his humor, it really makes me think of him as a speechwriter rather than a comic. Everyone says the best part of the movie is Robin Williams, and that's obvious-- Robin Williams is funny. Hairy, but funny. Bruce is hairy and not funny. It was a great contrast to two people of two completely different styles.If you have any doubt about Bruce's lamebrained, canned humor, watch Hollywood Squares, and notice how the questions are carefully pitched right towards him for maximum comedic effect. What's worse is that he sits next to Whoopi, and she's equally as bad.It's terrible when you're hoping Ted Danson will show up in Blackface just to make something more interesting.

what a terrible film and what a terrible man. this is one of the worst pieces of hollywood self-serving, syrupy nonsense i've ever had the misfortune to watch.it's fair enough when the egg-producers all get together and buy "Eat more eggs" campaigns. if this is the best the Bruce Vilanch Marketing Board can come up with...i have long thought of hollywood as being so capable of parodying itself that external parody was unnecessary and this just confirms my belief. if i didn't know better, i'd think i was watching a Mr. Show sketch parodying Bruce Vilanch. i wish...if you like watching sincerity so contrived it's appalling in its insincerity, 'fly on the wall' segments about the comedy process so contrived they're hard to watch and hollywood celebrities generally patting each other on the back to extreme, don't hesitate to rent this - you'll love it.i think even the most devoted Bruce Vilanch fan will be made nauseous by the awful song that plays out over the closing credits.Get Bruce? get lost...

Anyone should be so lucky to have such a delightful biography made about himself. I wish they had had more about the writing process he goes through, but since the film skims over every aspect of his life, fair enough. I also wish they had interviewed a few more people, like Sigourney Weaver.

The movie is very funny and I laughed a lot. Bruce is interesting enough and the people he is shown speaking to, are just as much fun. The Robin Williams part was especially enjoyable.
