Misery Loves Comedy (film)

Misery Loves Comedy is a 2015 documentary film directed by Kevin Pollak.

On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 35% of 26 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 5.3/10.

The website's consensus reads: "Misery Loves Comedy starts with an idea worth exploring, but proves frustratingly unable to enlighten or amuse.

"[5] Geoff Berkshire of Variety wrote, "Lining up well-known comedians to riff on tragedy as the basis for comedy is a sharp idea, and a documentary doesn't need to become a full-fledged therapy session to tease out the connective tissues.

But Pollak proves too distracted by his subjects, or perhaps too inclusive on the invite list, to hone in on a meaningful thesis.
