Bruce Madsen, portrayed by Adam Carolla, finds himself back on the road as a stand-up comic and quite miserable about it. Having gained a lot of celebrity from the TV series "Bro Show", but with no residuals coming in, and facing a huge college tuition bill for his daughter, Bruce feels he must endure the hassles of constant traveling while he waits for his agent to get him a better gig.
The humor here is highly acerbic, raw, and biting, with lots of explicit sexual references and jokes throughout. The film is also very satirical of the shallowness and phoniness of the "suits" in show business, who have no qualms about demeaning others who come before them for approvals.
To be honest, the movie got somewhat tiresome about mid-point, as it seemed to "hammer home" the same themes over and over. However, the filmmakers, Carolla and Kevin Hench, "righted the ship" and got it going again so that it finished in a most uplifting and enjoyable way.
I thought Diane Farr was very charismatic in her role as Sarah, a possible love interest for Bruce, while Cynthy Wu added well to the mix as Bruce's daughter Tina. There's a myriad of comedians in the film, but I thought that David Alan Grier stood out, as well as the great Larry Miller, as Bruce's agent "Baby Doll", who's living the high life and is always surrounded by 3 ginormously breasted women.
Overall, if the raw and explicit humor doesn't turn you off, you might find a number of laughs here, and a movie that definitely ends on a high note.
