The Real Review

This documentary is a total love letter to Martin Short and his career, with people calling it a joyful and hilarious watch. The classic clips and fresh interviews, featuring friends like Steve Martin and Catherine O'Hara, are a hit, and the never-before-seen home movies are a particular delight. A few found the structure a bit familiar, and Lawrence Kasdan's direction got some mixed feedback, but the overwhelming feeling is that it's a perfect tribute to a comedy legend.
