    As a relatively new fan of Eddie, I found the whole experience captivating. The documentary was funny and touching. His devotion to his Mom is truly beautiful. For any fan of Eddie, this is a must see. For anyone who is not yet a fan, this is a wonderful introduction to his comedy and an insight into his life. And Eddie was so gracious during the Q&A afterword, handling all of the many odd quesitons with sincerity and grace. We drove from Albany to see the midnight showing and didn't arrive back home until 7 AM the next morning. But both my husband and I felt it was well worth the trip!

    A Must for Eddie Fans

    by KatieDydde

    I'm not sure how moviegoers who are not familiar with Eddie's work will view this movie, but for anyone who has enjoyed his work, live or on DVD, this movie is a must. A look inside the mind and heart of the most brilliant comic of our, or any, time. Lots of archival footage of his early work, from street entertainer, through failed stand-up routines, and ultimately to his arrival as a comic phenomenon. Lots of archival footage of his impressions of life from infancy to adulthood, including candid discussion of the heartbreak of losing his mother when he was a young boy. A very human and unfiltered glimpse at the origins of a genius.

    not just for Izzard fans

    I mean, it helps, of course, but there's a universal element in it that anyone can appreciate. Aside from a bit of foul language, it would be very good for adolescents. What I took away from it more than anything is how determination and stubbornness can and does prevail. It's a triumph. And besides, there's no "love him or lump him" about Eddie; you can't help but always be rooting for him, he's just not a ****.
