Well done and bitter sweetReview created: 09/08/09

I bought this movie as a present for my 80 year old father.
Even though the movie came out in the 90's, I'd never seen it till today.
It's a bitter sweet look at aging, show biz and relationships as the movie follows the life of "Buddy Young Jr.", a popular yet self-destructive comic who rises to the heights of starom in the fifties, played by Billy Crystal. David Paymer is excellent as his long-suffering manager and brother.
The movie has excellent cinematography and the acting is good, but it's more sad than funny as the story of aging and becoming yesterday's news may be prophetic for entertainers like Crystal.
The DVD contains a nice number of special features with interesting background info, (although the "gag reel" is not that funny.)
Nice cameos by Jerry Lewis and a few other classic comedians.
