All Joking Aside Ratings & Reviews
MediaMikes
Michael A. Smith
A film about stand-up should, of course, be funny and "All Joking Aside" has some side splitting moments. But it also has heart, which makes it a rarity in the genre'. The heart here comes from the performances of the three leads.
Less Hat, Moorhead
M.V. Moorhead
It works in this Canadian production because the veteran Markinson and the relative novice Harewood are both charming, and director Shannon Kohli, working from a script by James Pickering, captures an unforced chemistry between them.
About Boulder
Tim Brennan
Director Shannon Kohli shows us that the process of crafting and executing an act takes an inhuman level of focus, and the costs can be brutal.
Elements of Madness
Douglas Davidson
What prevents All Joking Aside from being successful aren't the jokes (many of which land nicely) or the performances (a few being a little too stiff), but the rush to get to the good stuff instead of putting the time in to earn it.
Reel Talk with Chuck and Pam
Charles Koplinski
With quick pacing, succinct writing, authentic performances and a genuine father-daughter chemistry between the leads, it's a film that will warm your heart and make you laugh.
WBAI Radio
Prairie Miller
Compassionate queen of comedy portrait of young doomer bloomer comic. And a kind of equal parts satirical and sensitive contemporary updating of Shaw's Pygmalion - in this case boomer misery in creative collision with low wage millennial extreme dreams.
Film Threat
Rob Rector
All Joking Aside gives us but a glimpse of the pain behind the smiles, but like an evening at a comedy club, leaves us with a good-natured grin.
