i gotta say, i WANTED to side with jamie kennedy. i just cant. i'll go as far as to say he has a point about the critics being particularly rabid in their bad reviews. thats not necessarily cool. BUT at the same time, jamie kennedy makes plenty of jokes that would upset people just as much, so it evens out.
the documentary is entertaining. jamie kennedy's comedy just isn't that great. i did like his hidden camera show, however. -

As much as I liked Jamie Kennedy from the 'Scream' movieshe isn't just unfunny, he can't even recognize humor in general. When some of the critics are making jokes, Jamie doesn't appear to even understand humor is being made. He asks question and they answer them honestly and intelligentlyand he calls them nerds and points out they don't have as much money as him. Rinse, lather, repeat.ughhh.
He seems to be on the 'Andy Dick level' in terms of being thin skinned. The scene in 'Heckler' where he is acting all depressed while an episode of 'Celebrity Deathmatch' with him featured in it plays is the low point of the movie. When shows like that parody or reference you, it means something. It means you're on people's radaryou've 'made it' to a certain degree. He's about to cry over a goofy claymation show that's about celebrities fighting in a boxing ring. That's not even a real criticism! -

I'd say that he doesn't know the difference between critics and hecklers. A critic writes a review after the performance is over. A heckler interrupts the show right in the middle of it. That and Kennedy's behavior in the last few years, like his drunken rant at E3, make it hard to sympathize with him.

I just watched it on netflix. It seems the majority did not "understand" why "Critics" were included. They specifically pointed out that the "critics" they had issue with were not "critiquing" the film/comedy, but insulting the person with unrelated personal attacks.
Someone who writes a "critique", that has nothing to do with the body of work itself and is just a series of personal insults, damages the work. These practices drive consumers away, whether it be comedy club audiences or theatre seats. It contributes nothing and does disrupt the entertainment from reaching the consumer, and in that context, I think there is definitely room to argue that those types of "critiques" are a form of heckling. -

Jamie kennedy is a whiner and being a waitress is being more productive than the crap he does. At least waiters have a service that people want to pay for unlike him. Stop complaining or get better at what you grossly get over paid for considering he doesn't have any talent

Except that criticism isn't heckling at all. Heckling is when you interrupt a live performance.
Kennedy just wants to conflate the two so that his audience walks away thinking film critics are just like actual hecklers, when in reality they're just the same kind of normal people who come home from a show they didn't care for.
It's an insult to comedians who actually DOb68 deal with hecklers to lump film critics in with them.
Everyone who ever loved you was wrong.
