Bruce is a real life comedy writer, aggressively
sought and found by hit performers like Billy
Crystal, Robin Williams, Whoopi Goldberg and Better
Middler especially for award and event performances
like the Oscars. "Get Bruce" is a
documentary/biography on Bruce sporting lengthy
interviews with the four stars mentioned above and
briefer spots with others.
It's fairly interesting and at times very funny,
but it doesn't really tell a story. It's more like a
definition of the current state of one interesting
guy and how useful he is to others. There's no drama,
no climax; but as I said -- it is quite amusing. I'm
just not sure why it's released on film. It seems to
me it would naturally play well for TV audiences.
