I was really hesitant, I saw the one on Richard Pryor and it was insulting, he was a man that made me laugh and the documentary about him seemed to air his dirty laundry, which offended me, and then seemed to frame him as a tragic story rather than celebrate him, which I also felt was offensive. For some reason I don't mind it when they do that with poltical figures, or musicians.... but comedians I get a bit defensive about.
Thank god this didn't do that. This made me laugh so hard I cried, and the part about Mel's wife made me cry again, but it was funny and it was warm, and most importantly, inlike the one they did with Richard, it celebrated Mel's life. It didn't drag him, it didn't paint him as a dark figure. It was exactly the sort of Documentary I wanted to watch about a comedian... and director.
