Will Chu has it all - the job, the girl - but what is missing is his true passion in life, to become a stand-up comedian. When he gets the opportunity he is been waiting for, the emcee slot on the road opening for his hero Billy G., the realities of life on the stage come crashing in. Between relentless hecklers, drunk comedy groupies and hard-to-impress morning radio DJs, things get off to a rough start. Even if he can take the opportunity to learn from his idols and overcome the challenges, Will still needs to decide if he should continue with the life he has, or pursue the one he has always dreamt of: the life of a comedian.

Kinda like it

It's refreshing to see different genres that Asian performers are involved in. A light hearted comedy and tolerable to watch through, with appearances of Ken Jeong and Cedric the Entertainer. Try it.

Blah

Tried to really like it. He received alot of chances for a not so funny comedian. Decent follow your dreams movie but not so realistic. Life is a little more cutthroat.

A great and funny look at stand-up.

Simple, funny and overall entertaining; "The Opening Act" does a great job at offering viewers an inside look at stand-up comedy thanks to writer/director Steve Byrne's personal approach.

In this comedy, an open mic comic is given the opportunity to emcee a comedy show opening for his comedic hero, but must decide if he wants to continue the life set-up for him or follow his dream.

I loved this film. Not only do things look promising for lead actor Jimmy Yang, but comedian/writer/director Steve Byrne hits a home run. The way the movie is shot and the way it unfolds, you can clearly see how Byrne wanted "The Opening Act" to be different than other films about stand-up comedy and how much heart he put into it. The supporting cast is terrific and overall a feel-good film. If you love comedy, you'll love "The Opening Act".

Not as fun as it should be

Seeing the casting, i was expecting this movie to be hilarious, to Laught My Ass Off, but all along the movie i was just smiling and having symphaty (just a little bit) for the main character.... I wouldn't say it's a bad movie but it' s not a great one either, it's just a comedy which is not fun enough to be a good one, and a movie not deep enough to be actually interesting.
