Customer Ratings & Reviews

This 35th anniversary of The King of Comedy is much improved from the standard definition release on DVD. It's a film about one guy's obsession to make it big by getting a slot on a late night tv show hosted by Jerry Langford. Since Langford isn't giving DeNiro's Pupkin the time of day, he forges an uneasy alliance with another fan and kidnaps the host. DeNiro is excellent as the crazed Pupkin and this role represents a departure from the roles that many people associate him with. While a great film, King of Comedy doesn't exactly find itself on par with Goodfellas, The Departed, Raging Bull, Taxi Driver, Mean Streets and The Wolf of Wallstreet.

What's not to like about this movie!!!! Jerry Lewis always makes me laugh.

What a great film. De Niro is great. Very entertaining. The video transfer is really awful. The whole film is so dark, the interior scenes are almost not visible. I realize it's only $5.99, but presentation on the regular DVD is better than this Blu Ray. Booo Fox!
