“Simple, funny and overall entertaining; u0026quot;The Opening Actu0026quot; does a great job at offering viewers an inside look at stand-up comedy thanks to writer/director Steve Byrneu0026#39;s personal approach.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIn this comedy, an open mic comic is given the opportunity to emcee a comedy show opening for his comedic hero, but must decide if he wants to continue the life set-up for him or follow his dream.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI loved this film. Not only do things look promising for lead actor Jimmy Yang, but comedian/writer/director Steve Byrne hits a home run. The way the movie is shot and the way it unfolds, you can clearly see how Byrne wanted u0026quot;The Opening Actu0026quot; to be different than other films about stand-up comedy and how much heart he put into it. The supporting cast is terrific and overall a feel-good film. If you love comedy, youu0026#39;ll love u0026quot;The Opening Actu0026quot;.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eFollow @snobmedia for more reviews!”
