Heckler Trailers

HECKLER is a comedic feature documentary exploring the increasingly critical world we live in. After starring in a film that was critically bashed, Jamie Kennedy takes on hecklers and critics and ask some interesting questions of people such as George Lucas, Bill Maher, Mike Ditka, Rob Zombie, Howie Mandel and many more. This fast moving, hilarious documentary pulls no punches as you see an uncensored look at just how nasty and mean the fight is between those in the spotlight and those in the dark.

I have harbored a secret dream of writing some stand up material for years, but being a normally insecure human being, i was usually deterred by the thought of getting heckled offstage. I never wrote a word of it out.Tonight i watched this movie, and it truly inspired me to try. The way the different kinds of heckler, and reactions, was broken down, and the explanations of the how and why, was very inspiring.i will write my first, most likely awful material tonight. And when it is done i will go find a tiny open mic to sign up on.I feel cloaked in comedic kevlar, and i needed that, a lot more than i needed the funny material. That will come in time. I have to learn first, and part of that is jerkwads. I accept this. And now i feel a little more prepared. I am sure that i am truly, not. But im going to take some massive action. and the scenes of this film will play in my head, i imagine, quite a bit.Thank you. i am sure i will be returning to this film, in the coming time, in lieu of the whole naked fetal position feces thing howie mandel mentioned.Thanks for this. And if you want to try but are worried... watch this damn movie.

These comedians want you to like them so much, you can almost tell they're on the verge of tears knowing that somebody thinks they suck. It starts out strong, with some great comics talking about how much they love verbally destroying hecklers, but quickly degrades into a string of second-rate comics talking about how much it sucks when people say mean things about them. They run out of actual footage after about a half hour, so the last half of the movie is Jaime Kennedy tracking down people who gave him a bad review and trying to make them feel bad by talking about how chicks totally want to screw him. It's entertaining in the same way it would be to watch a group of autistic children diving for quarters. You'll probably laugh, but you won't feel good about it after.

After starring in a film that was critically bashed, Jamie Kennedy takes on hecklers and critics and ask some interesting questions of people such as George Lucas, Bill Maher, Mike Ditka, Rob Zombie, Howie Mandel and many more.The worst thing about this film is that it focuses on Jamie Kennedy, because the fact is that the clips they show of him are legitimately unfunny and unoriginal. If anyone deserves to be heckled, it is Jamie Kennedy. Not saying heckling is okay (I am undecided), but Kennedy is a failure.The best thing? All the people they were able to get and the clips they found. Wow. If you have a favorite comedian, they probably appear here. And then, they got musicians, too. I was shocked by Barbra Streisand's presence, but shocked in a good way. She has more passion inside her than I would have thought.

this documentary goes into hecklers to critics to a-holes like us on the internet. one of the more interesting things i thought was in this film was about the movie critics and self proclaimed movie critics out there on the internet that claim they are being honest but are really writing crap about the person that made the film or the actor.a few things they mentioned was Malibu's most wanted which even i remember people saying it was the worst movie they have ever seen. which to me i wouldn't say it was the best but i thought it was funny because i knew many kids that acted that way and saw the humor in it by dragging those kids in to watch it. only thing i feel this film should of gotten more into detail about was the subject of critics and people writing bad reviews about movies they have never even seen. for example i remember listening to howard stern talk to a person who bashed his film, private parts, in the news paper and also said she never seen the film and never would. overall i enjoyed watching this film and loved it when some of those hecklers got in the boxing ring with some "critics"
