Director: Paul Provenza
Cast: Billy Connolly, Eddie Izzard, Hank Azaria, Robin Williams
Cert: 18
How can you explain a joke; so many times and in so many ways? And does it stay funny?
Provenza takes a well-known, if dodgy, joke and places it in the hands of a group of comedians who tell it in their individual styles.
Interestingly enough, it works; well, sort of. It is, as Ulsterman Frank Carson has it, the way you tell ‘em. And there are certainly a multitude of ways in which to tell a joke, the punchline of which is the film’s title.
Star Rating: 3/5
