after read a couple of comment on lenny and claim unfortunately not very funny i have make an effort to register on imdb . com and just to give my view . to the people who write the word along those line have it ever occur to you and that lenny bruce life be just not a very funny story . yes and he be 1 of the best comedian ever and but do you really expect 2 hour of laughter and and than at the end and a little reminder that something go very wrong here a tiny reminder and not anything to shake you up too much . really . yes and it be not very funny . if you decide to watch lenny and you will not get a many laugh and a you might have expect . i wouldn not say it be unfortunate though . what you will get be an accurate description of an incredibly powerful and real character . lenny might not be the most likable hero ever and but he be a guy who stand up for what he believe in and and have a lot of fight in him . don not we want our movie hero to be like that . you will get wonderful performance in the leading role and a cinematography that each and every student of cinematography should be make to watch for hour and and bob fosse direction and ( help by a modern approach to edit ) simply stun . you will be move and you will get a lot of food for thought and you will feel enrich by this movie . but yeah and you would not get many laugh . what a waste of time and right . wrong .
