Like "The Aristocrats," Looking succeeds smashingly both as a comedy and as a savvy deconstruction of comedy.
I liked the movie. I smiled a lot. It maintained its tone in the face of bountiful temptations to get easy laughs.
Brooks is always a dry vintage, so the lack of outright laughs is to be expected. But Looking for Comedy is more depressing than funny.
Eraser-dull.
You don't have to be a Muslim, or a humorless person of any persuasion, to
find Brooks' performance excruciating.
The question for skittish distributors is not whether Looking for Comedy will play in Peshawar, but how long the movie will take to put Peoria to sleep.
This is by far the most embarrassing of his seven movies.
