I cried the whole time.

I was expecting a stand up special and this had no comedy at all but it was still great. Having a very similar relationship with my dad made it hard to stop sniffling for the whole hour. This is something everyone should see.

Not at all what I expected

I stay up late and watch a lot of Netflix. I love stand up comedy and had exhausted Netflix supply when as a last resort I clicked on Jim Breuer's "More Than Me". I truly was not a fan of Breuer's comedy, truth be told I still am not. I have a dry sense of humor and Breuer is an in your face, silly kid of guy. Never the less, Jim Bruer gained a fan tonight. I admire him as a wonderful human being with a tender heart and as a great family man. Having cared for an elderly parent, I could really relate to Jim's circumstances. The show is not really about comedy at all. It is about his relationship with his Dad, it is about life and love and family. It is about growing up and growing old. I loved the show, it was a beautiful story of father and son connecting . Jim Breuer may not make me laugh, but tonight he made me cry. I highly recommend this film.

A big surprise; in a great way!!
I stumbled upon this movie in a boredom moment wanting a quick laugh before bed time in the stand up comedy section. What I got was far from that. One of the most engaging, relate-able, heartfelt movies I have ever seen. I am a 30 year old male and do not cry easily but let me tell you this movie pulled at my last heartstrings. It really shows how important family is and how love should work. This movie motivates me to be a better son, father, and person in general. One of the biggest movie surprises of my life. This is a fantastic documentary. Really changed my views on a lot of things including Jim Breuer. This guy is extremely smart and knows what he is doing. He reminds me of my brother. He is goofy on stage but he has gained my respect forever. In fact I would like to be more like him in the he puts his life and family in perspective. This movie is unbelievable from beginning to end and seems to get better by the second. A big surprise but one that i'm genuinely grateful for.

I really enjoyed

I thought this documentary was excellent and would happily recommend to anyone. I had not heard anything about the film or saw any advertising. Im a big fan of documentaries and just happened to add it to my list on Netflix when browsing through new films. I thought it was just a comedy show but found out it was that and some. I'm happy that I watched it on Netflix streaming. I have always thought Jim Breuer was very funny. This documentary is a great mix of laughter and thoughtfulness. It is definitely worth viewing and will remind you to slow down and think about important things in life. I know it did for me. Also I have to mention music was really nice as well. Keep up the great work!

What a beautiful and touching story.

First let me say that I have watched this movie about three times, and have enjoyed it each time. This is more than simply a story of a comic who takes his aging father on the road, but more of one about the purest love that exists on this planet, and the dynamic of parent and child and how roles can reverse in life, and the way as humans we approach it. Also, Jim Breuer is one of my favorite stand up comedians, yet shows another side to his character as a son, a man and a caregiver. I will say when Jim was speaking about his father, I broke down multiple times crying. I am about to have to do this same thing with my father who has had a stroke with nobody to care for him. My brother has stepped up to the plate, and we will all do what we can. This is the way life should be. Also, do a Google search about Jim Breuer and his father. What a great human being, and a great comic. I would call this a drama documentary. Good job Jim. A must see for all.

Surprisingly good and relateable
Penderel30 October 2019
Hard to watch at times and funny and at times, heartbreaking. I enjoyed it, it showed a very human side of Jim Breuer, an all-round solid guy. My dad also fought in WW2 so this was relatable (France, Italy and North Africa) but try getting him to talk about it. Yeah but then we never connected (like Jim does with his dad) right up until he died in 2007 at 94 (and cut me out of the will). Not a problem really I saw it coming years before. Jim I was expecting a stand up comedy show full of laughs and you fooled me with this very personal and emotional journey with your Dad, shame on you for fooling me. And this show was from 2010(?), I just discovered it tonight. Good job Jim Breuer.

Not a comedy special.
sdrywer17 October 2014
Actually documentary doesn't contain stand up material pretty much at all. It's more about his almost 90yo dad he decides to drag on his stand up tour. 95% of documentary is him walking him slowly around, dressing and undressing him and gagging on him smelly dumps. His dad is old school dude who doesn't show any emotions or barely even speaks. Guess those long scenes them walking around and climbing stairs with tear jerking acoustic guitar soundtrack didn't really touch me at any level. What is the purpose of this documentary? Pointing out that people don't live forever, so send some time whit them before its too late and help them out? Guess that should be obvious to everyone. I got distant feeling this was bit self glorifying bit how he hangs with her dad even that he is rich and doesn't really need to.

In a nut cell I didn't get any laughs or tears out from this documentary even that I like the guy.
