Punchline Reviews
an underrated film
don't let the box and subject matter fool you in believing that this is your typical 80's comedy.it's not.it's more of a drama and shows the lives of stand-up comedians,hopeful for that big break.i'm guessing that this film isn't more well known because people were disappointed that this wasn't another Tom Hanks '80's comedy.it's a shame because this is a very good film.it's not perfect but still worth the price.i first saw this on late night cable(HBO) when it first came out and fell in love with it immediately and have watched it a dozen or so times since.the cast is great,very well acted,and i think that Hanks and Field should have gotten the recognition that they so very well deserved.John Goodman also stars,playing Fields husband,and as always is great as well.eventhough i stated this is more of a drama,there are some very funny parts as well.other reviewers stated when field is running late to make dinner, but my favorite is either when their daughter tells a joke at the dinner table with priests as guests or when fields gets her hair done and hanks responds,"did they drill your head for bowling?" if you like the cast and are also a fan of stand-up comedy you shouldn't be disappointed.
good story and funny
Not many people even know about this film.
Tom Hanks is great in this. Sally Fields does a great job in this also. Also watch for John Goodman who does his usual fantastic supporting role in this. Plus a young Damon Wayons in
this!!! You can't go wrong with this one.
