The Comedy (2012)

Despite its name, The Comedy (2012) isn;t really one, as it has no real jokes to speak of. Or maybe that's the joke? Whatever, this high-concept stuff always gives Mr. Skin a headache. Tim Heidecker stars as Swanson, a spoiled rick kid who seems unfazed by the prospect of his father's impending death and instead chooses to spend his days playing sadistic games of one-upmanship with his equally bored and jaded buddies. These include Gregg Turkington, better known by his stage name Neil Hamburger; indie regular Kate Lyn Shiel, who strips down to her bra; and Alexia Rasmussen, who bares her chest pillows as she sleeps 20 minutes in. Can you laugh yourself stiff?
