Howie Mandel: But, Enough About Me (2020) was written and directed by Barry Avrich. It stars--reasonably enough--comedian Howie Mandel.
Mandel is a torrent of energy. He makes wild jokes, does wild stunts, and he is his own best fan. (He laughs at his jokes, and then we laugh too.) Whether or not you'll like the movie depends on whether or not you like Mandel's humor. Well, not exactly. I don't like Mandel's humor, but I liked the film as a documentary of a unique human being.
We saw this movie virtually as part of the excellent Rochester Jewish Film Festival. The film has a very high IMDb rating of 7.8. I didn't think it was quite that good, and rated it 7.
