It's slight. full review
This is a movie for anyone who's ever been unsure, and surely that's everyone. full review
A smart, neurotic slice-of-life comedy about a stand-up comic with confidence issues, commitment issues, and career issues. full review
Birbiglia's pleasingly nasal delivery and agreeable presence holds it together. full review
I liked Sleepwalk With Me-just not nearly as much as I would've liked to have liked it. full review
This sharp romantic comedy began as a one-man show, and you can tell: the hero's voice-over narration wraps around the entire movie, and the scenes are mainly verbal. full review
"Sleepwalk With Me's" transition from stage to screen primarily works because Birbiglia continues to carry the weight. full review
It all adds up to a fine, funny exercise in disheveled self-deprecation: a self-portrait of a guy who can't control a major portion of his life. full review
Birbiglia proves to be as engaging a presence on the screen as he has been all these years onstage and over the radio waves. full review
The semi-autobiographical tale is appealingly low-key and alternately funny and melancholy, informed by Birbiglia's casual delivery. full review
Is there reason to be concerned that so much popular culture is about young men not wanting to become adults? Probably. And yet "Sleepwalk With Me" makes the subject palatable, funny and maybe even touching. full review
"Sleepwalk With Me" traps Birbiglia inside his own head. He desperately needs a movie or cable series that wakes him up and sets his material loose on the outside world. full review
"Sleepwalk With Me" is the perfect movie for fans of "The Daily Show" who actually stick around for the second-half interview. full review
It is a likable, warm film that brings a welcome reassurance: Even if you fail spectacularly as a comedian or as a human being, it really can turn out OK in the end. full review
I like this movie. More important, I like Mike Birbiglia in it. Whether he has a future in stand-up I cannot say, but he has a future as a monologist and actor. full review
Sleepwalk is oddly soothing, like a cup of camomile tea before bedtime. full review
A thoughtful adaptation of Birbiglia's hit one-man, off-Broadway show. full review
More than just a glorified stand-up act. full review
Matt's learning curve is probably supposed to be entertaining, or endearing, or something, but mostly it just sends the movie lurching into inertia. full review
Birbiglia's gift, really, is one of reassurance. It's nice to know that we can fail spectacularly and still be okay. full review
