A documentary about the life and comedy of acclaimed funnyman Bill Hicks.

• Poster: C-

Review:

Despite all of the visual flair crammed into the trailer, this poster lacks any distinctive visual style and the aggressive critics' plaudits are ultimately distracting.

• Trailer: B

Review:

His humor seems like it might be right up my alley, but the constant visual effects and artistic flourishes added in between jokes is a bit discouraging.

Oscar Prospects:

None.
