Billy Crystal: 700 Sundays (2014)
Humor overrun by vulgarity and maudlin maukishness

the earlier review posted here about comparing to Mr. Saturday Night, and comedians who tell childhood stories more effectively was spot on, in every regard. The good, the father stories, the gangster visit...the bad, the cutesy expressions and the overindulgence in vulgarity by a comic fans like myself are totally unaccustomed to seeing work blue. The obsession with his 13-year old entrance into sexual awareness was WAY over the line, and not funny. Unlike Mr. Saturday Night, which grew darker and meaner over time, but was saved by some vintage insights into that period...this gives only minor glimpses into that life growing up, and far too much self indulgent, not funny, overly dramatic, overlong, joylessness.
