Still really funny watching this, the whole time knowing that it’s a Hollywood film based on John Bishop’s life. It is of no surprise that Arnett is able to balance humour and despondency, and Dern is of course exceptional as ever. But, once again, Bradley Cooper continues to quietly be a very good director! The way the stand-up scenes are shot is incredibly effective, keeping you off-kilter, focusing really tight on Arnett, capturing the odd claustrophobia of it all.
