As much as I could relate to the anguish of our lead character and everyone around him who just seem to irritate him and cramp his style, the film was on the whole sad. Maybe it's too much to expect that a comedic film might have a few lines that actually make you laugh.
My favorite scene was after his gig at the college in Utica. He walks into his room at the cheap motel and starts jumping on his bed. He's thrilled that he actually just got paid to do a show. He's on his way to attaining his dreams however humble they may be. I considered that the films only rejoiceful moment.
The actress playing his agent was a highlight. Any scene with her put a smile on my face.
In any case This American Life is incredible and I am looking forward to any films that they may produce in the future. Sleepwalk is a good start.
