Sleepwalk with Me

When Matt is working the bar and trying to speak with Abby about having a "breather," the beer bottles on the bar appear and disappear between shots.

Matt Pandamiglio (Mike Birbiglia) is a loser struggling comedian who's actually more of a comedy club bartender. His girlfriend Abby (Lauren Ambrose) is too good for him.

A funny little movie about a man who suffers from a sleepwalk disorder. The story tells his struggle to hold love and career life together while one turns to be a disaster and another one successful.

OK, I get that Mike Birbiglia is telling his own story and in that way the story is based on real events - at least seen from the eyes of Mike Birbiglia. But even real stories need some artistic alteration or a good storyline to make it to the big screen.

I found the whole movie patronizing to the audience. What struck me the most about this movie is in living memory it's easily the least I've ever cared about all the characters of a film in a long time.

Not sure what I was expecting here - some kind of quirky indie comedy? I mean, you'd think a film about a stand-up comedian would be funny, right?

The first mistake is to think this is a comedy.Mike Birbiglia plays comedian Matt Pandabiglio (boy, he disguised that well, didn't he??

I saw this movie because I heard about it from Joss Whedon's "boycott." Before I sat down to watch it I glanced at the IMDb rate of 6.

When does sleep walking stop being funny? Fighting a non-existent jackal in the middle of the night is all good fun.

In the charming, disarming Sleepwalk with Me, a neophyte stand-up comic relates his experiences juggling his burgeoning career with his relationship with his longtime girlfriend and his parents. It's a really thoughtful slice-of-life seriocomedy with a touch of whimsy and plenty of relatability and not the slightest bit as pretentious as it could have been.
