World-famous stand-up comedian Manny Lewis finds it hard to connect with a romantic partner.

2/5

A film with serious potential marred by a reliance on cliche and a desire to make people happy.

1.5/5

Not so much a feature film as a therapy session where the star is acting as both patient and psychiatrist, Manny Lewis is a distinctly flat experience.

Absolutely terrible...Unfunny, aimless and largely pointless, you'd be better off listening to five minutes of any Carl Barron routine than submitting yourself to yet another Australian feature film that apparently had no audience in mind.

Carl Barron's brand of moody introspection and manufactured romance is unlikely to connect with old fans or win over many new ones.

The incessant talk that continues from start to finish might just be the movie's strongpoint -- and given how clumsy and contrived it is, that's saying something.

3/5

It's often funny, episodic and threatens to go to dark places before settling into something that's sweet and wholesome.

Carl Barron is a good actor, but the film is a little over the top and can't be salvaged by the romantic love story subplot. The first half of this film is incredible and I couldn't understand the bad reviews, but in the later half this film sank incredibly fast. The performances are not the issue, it's the story beats and forced narrative. Barron should star in more films, he is no slouch at the dramatic parts of the film. This could have a been a great film had the filmmakers improved parts of the overall story. 07/04/2019

Excellent little movie, those who are bagging this film are totally missing the point.

For a comedy film, jokes seem to be few and far between. There also seems to be a lack of stakes here. The story is interesting enough to hold one's attention throughout, but never really becomes exciting. It has a couple of touching moments, though. On the whole, I'd say it's worth checking out if you're in the mood for something really simple.
