The Comic

Like the guy who posted the first comment I bought this film for only 1GBP, I knew the film was going to be bad. I hoped that it would be in the so bad it's good category. It's so much more than that, it's appalling, it's the pits, it is without doubt the worst film I've ever seen, I had to watch it in five sittings. It's 89 minutes of the hoariest clichés and cod psychology. It has the worst cast, the worst sets, the cheapest and nastiest special effects. I could go on but I don't want to over egg the pudding !

I've not seen every film ever made so I'm not qualified to call it the worst film ever made but I can't imagine that any other film could be worse than this. Like the guy who made the first post, I too like bad films. If 'The Producers' (you know, Zero Mostel & Gene Wilder) had picked this script, it would have totally spoilt that movie for their theatre audience would have walked out and never come back.

It's a howler, watch it with a companion because you'll be begging them to kill you before the film is halfway through. Druggies save yourself some money, you don't need any mind altering drugs, just watch this film it will be a trip. If finding the worst film ever is you're Holy Grail, find this, buy it, take it back to your Camelot and stick it in ye olde DVD player, watch it and then write to thank me for putting you on to this.

I will treasure this film for ever. Thank you Richard Driscoll !!!!

PS, does anyone know if any of the cast or crew ever worked again, apart from in McDonalds that is ?

PPS, if you only see one bad film before you die, make sure it's this one.

Saw this film a couple of years back when I discovered it had someone I know in it. What a disappointment it was to see it , a really awful film and with awful acting especially by Gabe Cameron who plays Eddie , seen better acting in Seaseme Street ! Don't waste your money on this even if you see at .01p it may damage your VCR or DVD player If you want to see a film thats the pits then watch this If you want to see Shakespere , then rent out a Kenneth Brannagh Film I wish I could have given this film ZERO 0 , but I wasn't able too The Comic , it was no joke watching this load of tosh !

1 Star as I had to give between 1 or 10 this film should win a razzie

When I picked up a copy of The Comic at a truck stop for $1, I expected a bad movie. But I never expected something this horrible. I thought it would be a trashy horror film with a comedian who murders people while telling lame jokes. The box said "He's a real cut-up!", suggesting such a movie. But instead of a campy horror film, we get a confusing, boring and pretentious foreign film that doesn't make the least bit of sense. It was a half-hour into the movie that I realized that it was in a post-apocolyptic future, and after that, it kept on jumping back and forth between flash-back and dream sequence, that I didn't know what in the blue hell was happening. I think the movie makers tried to put a bunch of symbolizm and meaning into many of scenes, but in a crappy film like this, it doesn't really matter at all. I almost fell asleep during this movie, and I love bad movies. Unless you like sitting through three hours of hellish tedium, don't watch The Comic.

Very, very bad.

This is the first time I took the time to share a screenshot of a scene with friends as I wouldn't believe the level of mediocrity I was witnessing. And this was at 13 min in the movie!!! At least, Plan 9 and The Room are entertaining to some level.

This is like watching a slow motion video of toilet unclogging in close-up, with similar feelings involved.

Captivating, but in a very very bad way....

I think I rather would hang out with Joe Pesci (no pun intended) - also Joe Pesci is the actor obviously and not the character from Goodfellas, so there is that to consider, if you catch my drift? That aside, this odd movie is ... well hard to describe to say the least.

A lot of things seem to boil down to chance and fortune (or misfortune depending on your own view and moral compass). When the budget went ... well extinct, they found a way to carry on.

So maybe you are able to cut this some slack - maybe weird and odd is right up your alley. A lot of things you can take into account. Tough to watch for sure - suspend your disbelief and ... it might just work out for you. Way better than for the Comic ... which one you ask? Well that is a good question ... also be careful what you wish for. And what you hackle for ... which makes this very reletable at the beginning at least.
