4/5
A film about stand-up should, of course, be funny and "All Joking Aside" has some side splitting moments. But it also has heart, which makes it a rarity in the genre'. The heart here comes from the performances of the three leads. Go to Full Review
Hasitha Fernando Flickering Myth Nov 24, 2020
In spite of a few formulaic story beats, All Joking Aside rides strong on emotionally resonating performances and a thoughtful script filled with humor and heart. Just the kind of movie we need to navigate these dark depressing times. Go to Full Review
M.V. Moorhead Less Hat, Moorhead Nov 23, 2020
It works in this Canadian production because the veteran Markinson and the relative novice Harewood are both charming, and director Shannon Kohli, working from a script by James Pickering, captures an unforced chemistry between them. Go to Full Review

Joel Fisher Battle Royale With Cheese Nov 15, 2020
Not a particularly original routine, but the performances outshine the material. Go to Full Review
Douglas Davidson Elements of Madness Nov 13, 2020
2.5/5
What prevents All Joking Aside from being successful aren't the jokes (many of which land nicely) or the performances (a few being a little too stiff), but the rush to get to the good stuff instead of putting the time in to earn it. Go to Full Review
