Sleepwalk with Me (2012)

Best movie ever!

A Masterpiece!

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Good things about this movie:Lauren Ambrose. Although she makes it harder to understand why Mike does not want to marry her.Mike Birbiglia. A nice, lovable guy who is also wickedly funny. (More like a naughty kid, maybe?)James Rebhon and Carol Kane as Mike's parents. They love Mike and because they do they nudge.Mike is a failed stand-up comic who tells flat jokes and wonders why his comedy career is going nowhere. Then out of desperation he takes lousy offers around the country for very little money, but he learns to use his real life as the basis for his new and improved material - especially exploring his doubts about his eight year relationship with the woman he loves.Bonus: Because of his sleep-walking problem, Mike starts listening to a book on tape by Dr. Wm. C. Dement on sleep disorders. At one point, Dr. Dement (the real one???) makes a memorable cameo. (Yes, everyone makes fun of Dr. Dement's name, and so does Mike.)

Not sure what I was expecting here - some kind of quirky indie comedy? I mean, you'd think a film about a stand-up comedian would be funny, right? Sadly, it is not. Not at all.The film is basically the story of a guy who has an amazing, beautiful, supportive girlfriend, but he's not satisfied with that, so he spends the next hour or so of the film treating her like crap, ditching her to go on some pointless comedy tour, cheating on her, then telling her he wants to marry her but not really meaning it so makes her do all the planning while he flakes off on yet another dumb tour, then comes home and dumps her. The end. With a one line aside of how she went on to get married and have kids with someone else anyway so like, that makes it all okay now and we should just forget about the last hour we spent watching him be a complete jerk.Seriously, the protagonist of this film has NO redeeming qualities at all. The film manages to be watchable for the first half or so, but then this guy just becomes more and more awful to the point where you have no sympathy whatsoever for him and don't really care what happens to him.I am really disappointed I wasted 80 minutes on this. (It feels about 3 hours long.)

Really boring movie for a supposed "comedy." There is very little to write about and most of the movie is just one, long, dull flat-line. The main character is boring, the plot is almost non-existent and there was maybe one or two lines through the whole thing that even warranted a chuckle. I generously gave it 5 stars ONLY because in contrast, I've seen some REALLY horrible movies.I have no idea what else to say about this movie but apparently am required to write at least 10 lines.The only interesting aspect of the flick are the times where you're not sure if he's dreaming or not which forces you to pay extra close attention. Otherwise, you may very well find yourself falling asleep to this which is the last thing you'd expect when you turn on a comedy.

I apologize for the low quality review which follows, I have no time but in regard to the reviews found here, I thought we need something more honest before people go out and watch it.So, this is nothing you would watch in cinema.This is more like a movie to watch on a Sunday morning when everybody is lazy and there is nothing of value to do. The story is a bit boring, and the main character is boring too which comes surprisingly because he actually plays a comedian. This film is listed as comedy, but we didn't have a single laugh while watching it. The whole movie is really flat, no climax or variation whatsoever. Nobody even tried to follow up to the film after we were done with it. I am already having a tough time writing something here, as I can't remember something worth mentioning. So overall I think this says enough.
