The New York Times Stephen Holden
Simultaneously tough and disarmingly sweet, Mr. Walloch conjures a protective (but not condescending) affection from his audiences.

TV Guide Ken Fox
The result is a truly provocative portrait of a man, his wicked sense of humor and his basic strategy for dealing with life.

New York Daily News Elizabeth Weitzman
Isn't always that funny, it is awfully easy to like Walloch himself.

Director Eli Kabillio, however, tells us little about the off-stage man.

Derek W. gave it a 9:
Intricately woven film combines live elements with documentary and hilarious short bits with Stephen Baldwin & Anne Meara. Amazingly fresh treatment of Walloch's material.

Paul B. gave it an 8:
Eli Kabillio is a very talented director and Greg is a very funny guy. The movie has an HBO Special feel to it. It will entertain you! And Baldwin was a real trooper in doing the gay Chelsea boy cameo.***

Alex T. gave it a 7:
Walloch is a totally tallented and funny guy. I wanted to see more of him "on stage."

J. Mattey gave it an 8:
Overall, the film was very enjoyable, with Greg's stories peppered throughout. Greg Walloch is an outstanding storyteller, Kabillio is an average director.
