Anxiety over his stalled career and outside pressure to marry his longtime lover (Lauren Ambrose) push a commitment-shy comic (Mike Birbiglia) to sleepwalk.

Critics Consensus

Laugh-out-loud funny and endearingly messy, Sleepwalk with Me overcomes its tonal inconsistencies to deliver a sweetly melancholic, amiably reassuring indie crowd-pleaser.

However, there's something ultimately unsatisfying about the experience of listening to stand-up comedian Mike Birbiglia tell the true story of his inability to marry his longtime girlfriend (played by the far-too-hot-to-be-with-him Lauren Ambrose).

Sleepwalk [With Me] takes familiar material and twists it slightly, bringing new themes into focus even as it relies heavily on [Mike] Birbiglia's tales of screwy gigs, stoic audiences and downright dangerous sleepwalking episodes.

Birbiglia manages to walk a fine line between brutally honest confessional and inspirational comedy in a passion project about life on the road and the tolls it can take in love and relationships.

Pretty solid intriguing movie. The guy was so frustrating though.

An experience-based picture with a unique perspective on film that shows a starting stand-up comedian struggling for material to boost and find inspiration on the shadowy reality in his life off the small stage, resulting a narrative to consists a basic sense of humor and performances from an equally good cast to express life points.
