Review of Punchline (1988)

By Kevin M. W (1,682) on 25 May 2011

Hanks is magnetic as a naturally gifted comic whose funny is the direct result of being a lousy human being…

Review of Punchline (1988)

By Aj V (1,538) on 13 Feb 2011

Two great actors, one boring, predictable, unfunny script about comedians who fall in love. This movie could have been way better…

Review of Punchline (1988)

By Peter P (1,726) on 06 Dec 2010

A sad movie about comedians, saw it when I was younger, but haven no interest in ever seeing it again…

Really good movie, and teaches you where to find comedy…

Review of Punchline (1988)

Tom Hanks is really good in that movie but the story is bad so is the direction…

Review of Punchline (1988)

By Robert I (1,833) on 26 Aug 2010

For the first half hour, I thought this was an unfunny trainwreck with wonderful talent... But then it captured my heart…

Review of Punchline (1988)

By James H (4,675) on 06 Jan 2010

Is it a comedy or a drama? Is it a dramam about comedians or a comedy with drama in it? I never could tell…

Review of Punchline (1988)

By Theo N (9) on 28 Sep 2009

I feel the same way about this movie as Apatow's Funny People. They deal with the same themes…

Review of Punchline (1988)

By Peter B (1,397) on 02 Sep 2009

A forgotten gem with a tremendous funny and simultaneously tragic performance from hanks and a brilyant sally fields. Seek it out. Go on…

Review of Punchline (1988)

By Wang S (9) on 24 Jul 2009

It's amazing that a movie that proves that it can be funny, fails to be so in the one area where you expect it…

Review of Punchline (1988)

By Cindy I (193) on 04 Jun 2009

An ok movie made better by strong performances by Hanks, Fields, and Goodman…

Review of Punchline (1988)

Tom Hanks is good, Sally fields is good, Goodman, Wayans, both good, funny jokes, good story, overall a likeable movie…

Saw it in theatres..bored to tears..not necessarily bad, but I just didn't like it…

Review of Punchline (1988)

By André D (1,970) on 05 Mar 2008

Interesting in that this is one the few films that bridged Tom Hank's career change from comedic to serious actor…
