The basic portrait [C.K.]
The world has been served to her on a plate and what kid isnt going to just take it?
The characters leading trait is that hes pathetic but, despite that, hes massively successful.
Owen Gleiberman,Variety
Scenes sprawl, digress, and reveal character with tart-tongued observational flair.
But the film meanders, and its second half is shapeless.

As the writer, director and star, C.K.
Peter Bradshaw,The Guardian

And it is very funny.
More skilled as a writer and director than as an actor, C.K.
