Review – Heckler

This starts out exactly as promised by the title: for the first 15 minutes or so, it’s an interesting documentary about the eternal struggle between stand-up comics and hecklers. But then co-producer Jamie Kennedy yanks the curtain back and reveals the true bane of his existence: movie critics. Almost instantly it set me to wondering why anyone who makes movies such as Malibu’s Most Wanted and Son of the Mask would even bother to read what critics think of his work. Before the end we’re “treated” to Andrew “Dice” Clay’s self-indulgent stunt on CNN, Uwe “Crapslinger” Boll’s boxing matches with critics, and Kennedy himself setting fire to copies of negative reviews. Seriously, guys, if you can’t stand people bagging on your crappy movies, quit making crappy movies. Make something that doesn’t suck. Or better yet, bail on the business and go get an actual job. Wish I’d skipped it
