HECKLER - 6/10: Why do i get the feeling that this movie is mad at me? this is hack asshole Jamie Kennedy's woe-is-me-LOL vanity/revenge project. it operates under the pretense that it is a documentary on the nature of harsh criticism, but in reality this is for the most part a bunch of c-list and d-list comedians and celebrities attacking those (online and off) who dare question their talents. Most of them (especially centerpiece Kennedy) come off as comically petty (the only time you'll see Kennedy described by me as "comical"), childishly insecure, shamelessly myopic, and bafflingly ungrateful. You make a lot of money for something that isn't really that hard, something that you're not even very good at (or even trying to improve at). When he confronts his critics, they are relatively unmoved by Kennedy's neediness, sticking to their guns, saying "dude... it's the INTERNET" without really saying it. If Kennedy really is the comedic talent he believes himself to be, he would see the humor in all of this and laugh it off. to quote Christopher Titus: Why don't you come down off the cross, use the wood to build a bridge, and GET OVER IT.
