Fluentiama Perfect cast and a good story

Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

rollercoasterjustin Obviously if it was really good or bad, It would be either a one or a zero.It starts off interesting showing comedians getting heckled/telling stories about getting heckled. What would be more interesting would be having the comedians reveal their own heckling techniques. You get to see some classic (ie Old) videos of Bill Hicks and Ronald Reagan dealing with hecklers. Also Brian Holtzman will chew you up if you dare criticize him.But then around the time that Craig Ferguson starts talking about film criticism is when it turns into Jamie Kennedy V. Critics. It shows mean reviews he got for Malibu's Most Wanted and Son of the Mask. Various comedians also take pot-shots at mainstream critics like Roger Ebert, Gene Siskel, Gene Shalit, and Leonard Maltin for being a tad hyperbolic.Many critics will love to just hate this cause it stars Jamie Kennedy (Or as he likes to think it is), I'm more annoyed that comedian Andy Kindler is complaining in this movie....RANT Andy Kindlers stand up is about him cutting down comedians and comedy. His claims to fame are making a list about "How to be a hack comedian" and "If anyone could prove Whoppi Goldberg was funny." I don't know about you but those sound like heckling personally.Basically if you feel sorry for Jamie Kennedy, Tom Green, Uwe Boll, and Perez Hilton. This is a great movie for you. Otherwise, Just watch until Craig Ferguson appears and just turn it off. You'll also miss seeing Jamie Kennedy's butt.

Geeky Randy As a 'Top Reviewer' on IMDb, I have written many film reviews in my time; however, almost all of them are capsule reviews that include a plot summary, brief pros/cons, and maybe a quick noteworthy piece of trivia to add an eensy bit of fat. However, none have been more personal than HECKLER. Here is a rare PERSONAL summary: I first watched HECKLER a couple of years after its release. Nobody likes a heckler, so the generic title was really an eye-catcher for me. Also, being a horror movie fan, I have a soft-spot for Jamie Kennedy who played Randy Meeks in the first three SCREAM films—possibly the horror genre's most underrated supporting character. My first viewing was at a buddy's studio apartment, and he and I both really enjoyed it.What brought me to replay this movie a few years later:I had recently discovered that one of my books had gotten a * out of ***** on Amazon.com by a reader. It included something along the lines of "the characters are as flat as the paper they're printed on" and some other harsh words that I don't wish to continue breathing life into. Deep down, I knew I shouldn't have cared; I get reviews and some of them are good, some are mixed and some are bad—this person's review made it pretty clear that they either didn't understand important elements of the story and/or it simply wasn't their cup of tea. On the surface, however, it was difficult not to be hurt.I actually decided to give HECKLER a replay and it really helped. Not only did it remind me that others receive this on a similar scale, but also that I created something that puts me in the spotlight to get heckled. In a way, whether my work was praised or criticized, I made an accomplishment that put me in a position to get reception from others—and just being able to have myself out there in front of the world like that is quite an achievement, and that fact is what I should be focused on.Also, Perez Hilton made a commendable comment in a deleted scene, explaining that because he dishes criticism, he has to accept criticism from others in return. While it might be an obvious point, it's an easy one to forget when you're down-in-the-dumps due to a bad review. I have written hundreds of reviews; and, yes, on occasion, I am willing to be blunt. Therefore, I need to move on and not let such a First World problem affect me creatively or emotionally.HECKLER is an excellent comfort film for anyone who is in a positioned to be heckled or negatively reviewed.***½ (out of four)

andypapier The true irony of this movie is that the comedians and actors interviewed become the hecklers of hecklers and critics. For the most part I sympathize and agree with what the comedians are saying. But when Eli Roth just makes fun of a fat chick in Cleveland as though anyone who doesn't live in Hollywood or like his movies is a dumb worthless piece of sh*t, he becomes the bully (heckler) he's complaining about. Another bit of irony is that I am writing this "review" about a movie that essentially just becomes a sob fest of actors complaining about bad reviews they've received. After a half hour of this I started having a hard time feeling sorry for them no matter how right they were and just got bored. It really just shows how self obsessed some of these people are. Do they ever disagree with a good review? Sorry some of your movies are really, really sh*tty and you know they are sh*tty. Does that mean people shouldn't or won't watch them? Hell no. People love bad movies and I love tons of 'em, but don't get your p*nties in a bind if somebody calls your piece a sh*t a piece of sh*t. Just count your cash all the way the bank and get your agent on the horn, because I'm sure there's another piece of sh*t waiting for you to star in. Anyway, I give this movie 2 1/2 waffles. ;)

gavin6942 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.
