- Rating: 5 out of 5 starsGreat cast of comedians. Jimmy OYang kills it in the lead. Totally worth the watch.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 starsI saw The Opening Act over the weekend...really enjoyed it. It was shot well, story was engaging and loved the use of all the comics in it.
- Rating: 2.5 out of 5 starsThis guy just might possibly be the worst stand up comedian I ever saw in my life 2.3. I can’t stress enough how terrible of a stand up this guy was at stand up . It inspires me to give stand up a shot . Tom segura legit made a 30 second appearance and was great
- Rating: 5 out of 5 starsLoved it! Great performances by several comedians. It's an all star cast. Loved the DJ radio scene. Great quick tags on great tension on great big comedians...holy shit Russell Peters. And you can tell Will Burr is having fun! My favorite moments come from the balance between Neil Brennan and Cedric The Entertainer's relationship with Jimmy Yang. In the end, it's a love letter to comedy. Highly recommend if you enjoy laughing and self reflection. Great film by Steve Byrne.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 starsThe story of every wannabe comedians struggles. It does well explaining everything in an organic way. It's pretty shallow of a movie where characters are barley explored and plot is pretty obvious. Guy struggling kinda makes it in end. Was nice to see all the comedians. But some dialogue was cringe and forced.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 starsDirected by Steve Byrne and starring Jimmy O. Yang among other comedians is a great movie. If you've ever gone to see a comedian and wondered what it was like to get into clubs then you will enjoy this movie.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 starsGreat movie! If your a stand up nerd it is a Where's Waldo of comics.
