CommentsXp Best movie ever!

SpunkySelfTwitter It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Asad Almond A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

JohnnyLee1 For lovers of stand-up comedy. If you have suffered from sleep disorder you will relate to the main character's dilemma. And then there is the angst he experiences within his long-term relationship. The movie makes you really feel from both sides. I guess what wasn't resolved for me was how his girlfriend in particular came to see his use of his private life in his comedy act. But a movie that gets away with talk-to-camera as well as voice-over narration, neither of which I normally like, is a winner. It's the pathos. (viewed 10/16)

mooftcake Not sure what I was expecting here - some kind of quirky indie comedy? I mean, you'd think a film about a stand-up comedian would be funny, right? Sadly, it is not. Not at all.The film is basically the story of a guy who has an amazing, beautiful, supportive girlfriend, but he's not satisfied with that, so he spends the next hour or so of the film treating her like crap, ditching her to go on some pointless comedy tour, cheating on her, then telling her he wants to marry her but not really meaning it so makes her do all the planning while he flakes off on yet another dumb tour, then comes home and dumps her. The end. With a one line aside of how she went on to get married and have kids with someone else anyway so like, that makes it all okay now and we should just forget about the last hour we spent watching him be a complete jerk.Seriously, the protagonist of this film has NO redeeming qualities at all. The film manages to be watchable for the first half or so, but then this guy just becomes more and more awful to the point where you have no sympathy whatsoever for him and don't really care what happens to him.I am really disappointed I wasted 80 minutes on this. (It feels about 3 hours long.)

Bo Kotian Lund OK, I get that Mike Birbiglia is telling his own story and in that way the story is based on real events - at least seen from the eyes of Mike Birbiglia. But even real stories need some artistic alteration or a good storyline to make it to the big screen. This has not really happen here! Mike Birbiglia who is a good comedian makes a comedy movie, is has to be good! Just that, this is not a comedy - its a movie about a comedian but it is in no way funny. So what is it then? Some kind of sad, no happy ending romance? Maybe even drama? At best you might call it a road movie, as half the movie Mike Birbiglia is driving around in a Volvo.When I was watching this movie and figured it was not a comedy, I so hoped to find that the whole concept was to interlink the way the movie is made to the theme of sleepwalking - that the whole slow narrator mode and his misery life had anything to do with sleep, sadly it never happened (except you get sleepy watching it). After a good hour of watching I began to believe that the movie was not really about sleepwalking, but maybe a romance/drama thing - maybe he would kill his mother in his sleepwalking stage or his girlfriend would start sleepwalking with him? Until the last second I still hoped something would happen, some kind of "ah ha" - just a link from the story telling to the story, but no - you do get a morale though which sadly just seem to be a reflection on his own past and not really what the movie was about. The end seems to reveal that the whole point of the movie was to tell the world of this disorder, which it does very bad.Sleepwalk with me is at the level of a 6th grader told to write his own biography - so except you are a huge Mike Birbiglia fan and want to be told that he used to be a horrible boyfriend and that he has a sleeping disorder, do not push play!

SnoopyStyle Matt Pandamiglio (Mike Birbiglia) is a loser struggling comedian who's actually more of a comedy club bartender. His girlfriend Abby (Lauren Ambrose) is too good for him. Abby pressures him to marry her, and he starts walking in his sleep under the stress.Mike Birbiglia's semi-autobiographical one-man show is turned into a movie. It has the air of real life. However I just couldn't shake the question that probably everybody asked while watching this movie. "Why did she stay with this loser?" Mike probably played up his loserness too much at the beginning. His acting at the start had no energy at all. It just made it hard to understand why Abby would ever stay with him. There is an imaginative explanation based on real life. But it still isn't quite satisfying.
