User Reviews

A funny movie with a serious point that is excellently written and directed.

This is a funny movie with a serious point. Excellently written and directed. Good acting. If you like truthful, irreverent movies with outrageous humor, this movie will have you laughing so much there will be no time for popcorn. If you have a more restrained sense of humor, are offended by ethnic jokes, or don't care about using humor to get to the truth, you qualify for more popcorn. But you will also leave the theater with a full belly of entertainment and a few humorous moments where even the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse could not restrain the guffaws.

Hacks is about some incredibly lousy stand-up comics in New York City and the inept agency that manages them. See the movie to get the point.
