This film's audience should have been an older crowd, but Hackford felt he had to try to be edgy and current by making Deniro's character a shocking and filthy comedian. Unfortunately, aside from the filthy comedy, the rest of the film felt like it was directed by an out of touch yuppie director, so it felt disconnected. Even Hackford's recreation of video gone viral felt inauthentic and created by someone's grandfather. Hackford is so out of touch, it's embarrassing.
Deniro was great except for the time he was performing comedy in the film. Even the well written jokes failed when delivered by him because he is not funny. I didn't buy him as a comedian at all. It looked like he was reading his jokes from cue cards.
This film was uncomfortable to watch because it was so bad.
