VHS Movie Reviews of Lenny

Movie Review: Lenny
Summary: 3 Stars

If you want a bio, it's informative, and as I understand it, honest, as Lenny Bruce was not considered by many as great, but his passion for free speech is commendable, I think. As a movie, it focuses too much on the couple, and at times, I needed to step back and breath.

Summary of Lenny

Based loosely on the Broadway play, this film biography of late comedian Lenny Bruce captures his fiery brand of provocative humor while looking at his less-than-savory personal life. Dustin Hoffman earned an Oscar nomination for his portrayal of Bruce, a seminal figure in stand-up comedy who broke boundaries of language and subject matter by questioning hypocrisy and telling it hilariously like he saw it. Director Bob Fosse, working with cinematographer Bruce Surtees, used black-and-white to capture the shadowy nightclub world in which Bruce rose and fell, bleakly depicting the eventual loss of his livelihood when he became a victim of governmental obscenity prosecution. Hoffman is ably supported by Valerie Perrine as Bruce's stripper wife, Honey, as much a victim as a lover for Bruce. --Marshall Fine
