lenny be a powerful movie about the life of tortured comic lenny bruce and his wife honey . the surprise of the film be it focus a great deal of time on honey and which be fine because i be all ready very familiar with the entire story of lenny bruce . his wife be usually not talk about as much and this movie do a good job deal with her . the acting be excellent and hoffman be dead on a lenny bruce and he look and act a lot like him . perrine be just as good a honey . the movie only flaw be that i know so much about lenny bruce and a lot of this felt like old material . but the acting and atmosphere more than make up for the fact i all ready know most of what would happen in the movie .
