About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you’re up for an edgy, autobiographical comedy about fame, free speech, and pushing boundaries; Not for you if crude sexual jokes or shock-jock antics aren’t your thing, like in Deconstructing Harry.
Pros: big laughs; surprisingly heartfelt; energetic pace | Cons: very raunchy humor; one-sided portrait; may not age well
