Robert De Niro will play Jackie Burke, a raging comic past his prime who clings to any recognition that comes from his days as a beloved TV character as he tries to reignite his stagnant career. Sentenced to community service for hitting a heckler in the head with a microphone, the comic meets Harmony, a dazzling and defiant redhead who turns his life sideways.

Truthfully, the only reason to even watch “The Comedian” is for Cloris Leachman’s approximately five minutes of screen time. The 90-year-old legend plays a TV icon being roasted by the Friar’s Club and steals the entire movie. But, frankly, you have to endure a lot to get there.

The Comedian feels mainly like a vanity project for De Niro, who gets to be oh so adored and woo a younger woman.

De Niro’s turn as a misanthropic weather-beaten comic who can’t seem to shake his annoying alter-ego, mixes Bad Grandpa’s puerile pathos and Louie’s darkness.

The movie aims to be “The Wrestler” for the comedy-club set, but it too often settles for cheap gags and even cheaper sentiment.

Dramedy about an aggressive stand-up learning about redemption and love big on performances, light on everything else.
