There's a bit where Mike Birbiglia is sleepwalking and he jumps out a second story window. That's exactly what I felt like doing pretty much the entire time I was watching this. It starts out as pure shit, gradually becomes shit with corn in it, but by the time it's almost not shit I didn't give a shit anymore. I mean come on, it's a comedy made by a comedian and it's not funny! That's just fucking stupid.

80 minutes of numbing passive-aggression that's inexplicably meant to be endearing instead of vaguely revolting. That I can relate to some of Birbiglia's issues in this film only makes me understand his approach even less--it's not cute when you can't get your shit together, it's awful. Try to imagine Punch-Drunk Love if it had been written by and starred a teddy bear that smelled like human sweat. Actually, don't try to imagine that.

I'm done. No more schlubby men with women hotter and smarter than they are. Time to move on from the poisonous American indie archetype.

You don't have to be a fan of Mike Birbiglia's standup to appreciate the somber and downbeat style of comedy in Sleepwalk with me, although maybe this film will bring attention to the man's comedic genius. Sweet at times, saddening at others and deftly funny throughout, Sleepwalk with me is a wonderful film debut for Mike Birbiglia.

A fascinating look at the real life story of a Struggling Comedian, Mike Birbiglia. Who suffers of a sleep discarder that causes him to act out his dreams as he's having them which is funny to watch but a very dangerous problem.
Mike is a brave man for sharing his story, which is not over yet. Good show!

There's a bit where Mike Birbiglia is sleepwalking and he jumps out a second story window. That's exactly what I felt like doing pretty much the entire time I was watching this. It starts out as pure shit, gradually becomes shit with corn in it, but by the time it's almost not shit I didn't give a shit anymore.

A great story about avoiding a problem, and the issues it causes.

This is a film I've been looking forward to for almost 2 years, and as someone who's listened to the standup album, and read the book, it was great to finally see it in film. Great performances all round, especially as Mike is a first time writer/director.

Mike Birbiglia's autobiographical comedy tells the story of his comedy career, relationships and how he learns to deal with his sleepwalking disability.

Adapted from his one man play, Birbiglia finds comedy in his everyday pain and worries. The plot is cleverly told in way that instantly breaks the fourth wall with him convincing the audience his story is true.

Maybe on another day I would have enjoyed this. Today, though, I only made it 5 minutes. Wasn't feeling it.

Parting ways with Netflix for a bit cause I don't have any time :( so I figured I'd find something funny and sweet to say our farewells with.

This is a great little film. I wish I could watch it again infact but Netflix throws a paddy and demands cash. Odd.

Okay so just watch it. I can't even take myself seriously anymore let alone a fun film. I'm probably asleep while typing this... zzzzzzzzzz

An endearing and honest journey of a lowly comic who channels an increasingly serious sleep disorder & daily anxiety into successful material & discovers the root of his problems alone on the road. It took me a little while to warm to Birbiglia's character, because he is his own worst enemy, but his lack of confidence, his failing ambitions & the various pressured expectation of him was relatable. It's amusing in a very awkward way, but also surprisingly sad. Top supporting cast of Ambrose, Kane and Rebhorn.
