The Joke Thief (2018) Reviews
A raw honesty about life and how you live it.
Well. I will start by saying it's more of life observation that a movie. It's honesty touched Me and I really engaged with Simon (the main character). Life is short and keep trying to make it or reaching for something you always wanted is never impossible. A small budget, but big on hope and honesty. You will switch off in 10 minutes or fall in love. But hey, that's life.x
Simply Brilliant!
If you're a fan of standup comedy then you will love The Joke Thief. Centered around an aspiring standup comedian, (Simon, played by Frank D'Angelo) he embarks on a tale of love, loss, introspection and redemption. Simon finds the answers to most of life's questions thanks to a lovable and unassuming hero Jerry. Nervous on the way to a big gig, Simon learns to be grateful for even the smallest things in life. Simon realizes he's taken a few things for granted and perhaps it's time to make amends. The acting is superb and Frank D'Angelo's on-screen presence is nothing short of undeniable as he weaves through the scenes of different emotions in a search of a lifelong dream.
Strangely Addictive Film
Not quite sure where my 90 minutes went and undecided about the feelgood factor. However, a warm fuzzy feel of a film and will keep you watching until the end which is not disappointing and neither enthralling.
What the hell man...
Except some jokes... There's nothing in this film. A waste of time.
uhh!!??
Unnecessary racist bits especially with the taxi thing, the taxi driver must have said he likes taxi driving (his "job") like 10 times in an interval of 5 minutes. I guess British "superiority" complex is showing here as if Sub-continent "Indians" love to drive the great British people around in their "curry" smelling taxis. Which they immediately made sure that the "hero" isn't in a smelly taxi, but rather a brand-new one, so hopefully he didn't get suffocated. Unnecessary dialogues and pauses and close shots, making it seem like a waste of time.
