Critic Reviews for Certifiably Jonathan

All Critics (12) | Top Critics (9) | Fresh (3) | Rotten (9)

For a movie literally about "finding the funny," it's ironic that director Jim Pasternak too rarely does in his fitfully lively but mostly awkward mockumentary "Certifiably Jonathan."

Gary Goldstein
Los Angeles Times
Jonathan Winters is a fine and funny fellow, and deserves better than this.

February 17, 2011 | Rating: 1/4 | Full Review…

Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times
Jim Pasternak's documentary is a sophisticated appreciation of Winters as an unsung multi-talent.

Joseph Jon Lanthier
Slant Magazine
Fortunately, Winters' legendary inventiveness as a comedian has not diminished with the years.

Lou Lumenick
New York Post
Observing his subject both on and off medication (Mr. Winters says he is bipolar), Mr. Pasternak has produced a film that feels depressingly exploitative.

February 11, 2011 | Rating: 1/5

Jeannette Catsoulis
New York Times
Faux documentary about the legendary comedian squanders the rich potential of its subject.

Frank Scheck
Hollywood Reporter
There's a trove of laughs to be found here, courtesy of the ineffable Jonathan Winters, which somewhat override the labored mockumentary gimmick.

David Noh
Film Journal International
A whimsical documentary about the elderly comedian Jonathan Winters and his quest to have his paintings exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art.

It's got a great subject -- the extraordinarily voluble comedian Jonathan Winters, whose constant rush of words can be like a blizzard: beautiful, maddening, exhausting and finally beautiful again. But it's not a great film.
