Tied for the best movie I have ever seen

The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

A hilarious flick!!! Very funny & clever!!! Quite frankly, I didn't find anything remotely distasteful, but that's me!!! If you want to crack up for 90 minutes straight, see Hacks!!! I can't wait till it comes to a theater in New York so I can see it for a second time!!! Great job Glenn!!!

This is the funniest movie I have seen in years. I saw it at the Johns Hopkins Film Festival, where the audience laughed along with me through the entire film. This is a mockumentary about a group of stand-up comedians that are hopelessly out of touch with their audience (and with the boundaries of good taste) that goes beyond the Spinal Tap genre, showcasing a very talented cast and their off-beat, funny and sometimes outrageous personas. I found myself laughing my head off, sometimes thinking, " I shouldn't be laughing at this," but laughing nonetheless. This film deserves a wider audience; hopefully a distributor will pick it up soon and show it outside the film festival circuit.

I'm a big fan of Jim Gaffigan so I went to check this flick out in Park City. Very funny movie. Although not a good movie to go see if you are at all p.c. Some parts were a bit too self-aware, but there are some scenes in this thing that will make you fall off your chair. As I mentioned, I went to see Gaffigan and he did not disappoint. Funny as s***. He's done a bunch of crap (sitcoms) that don't do him justice. Nice to see a good fit. Overall funny movie, but definitely not for everyone.

I dont normally write reviews of things 'cause i don't want to waste the time, but after reading the first review of this film, i HAD to write to defend this movie. i saw the movie at sundace film festival in january. ohmigod - i have never laughed so much in my life. i went away from this film blown away at the kinds of things being done on such small budgets. i know the budget from this site anbd cant believe it. Hacks was beautifully shot, expertly performed, brilliantly edited and f*cking hilarious. and in an extremely intelligent way. i read the first guy's review and freaked. i agree that auple of parts (only two VERY small ones) were a bit long, but c'mon!! the movie was so quick paced - and the jokes and perfomances so funny, the slow parts were a nice break! and to suggest that things were done 'in poor taste' - PLEASE! the movie is a parody. if you really GET the joke, you understand that the film was intended to make fun of the self-righteous morons that run show business - even on the lowest rung of the ladder. i thought the movie was f-ing brilliant. you can tell that the people who made this film were very smart, clever individuals who unedrstand that just because you employ certain comedy devices, it doesn't necessarily make it 'low brow' as slower people might lead you to believe. anyway, the movie rocked and deserves to be in every friggin theater in the country. the cast of Hacks are all going to be household names very soon. mark my words. if you can catch this movie anywhere near you - i urge you to do so. you've never seen anything like it and probably never will again (unless these guys make another movie).
