I was surprised how sad
this documentary about laughter seemed.
Oftentimes making me want to cry,
rather than laugh.
The writer, director, and narrator
Albert Nerenberg lost his ability to laugh.
But then he and his wife feel startled
to hear their baby daughter laugh.
She didn’t learn such behavior from either of them,
because they both suffered tragedy
and allowed such sorrowful events
to steal their ability to laugh.
This engaging documentary,
which studies what makes us laugh,
traces Nerenberg’s efforts to get his laugh back!
He studies laughter yoga,
visits the man with the world’s most contagious laugh,
holy laughter,
and much more.
The bittersweet journey resounds with laughter.
Intriguing and educational film.
Especially for me,
because of my interest in what makes people laugh!
Ultimately, this is a film of triumph,
as he sees others who face harrowing circumstances
revive themselves with the power of laughter!
So I found it worthwhile to watch.
I hope you enjoy it too.
The DVD received only 4 reviews on Amazon,
but all 4 were 5-Star Reviews!
So clearly others enjoyed this as well.

Steve Martin:
You know, a lot of people come to me and they say,
“Steve, how can you be so %@&#ing funny?”
There’s a secret to it, it’s no big deal.
Before I go out, I put a slice of bologna in each of my shoes.
So when I'm on stage, I feel funny.
Brian Regan:
I learned something in the juice isle, and that is,
I don’t know what’s going on with cranberries,
but they’re getting in all the other juices.
Whoever the salesman for cranberries does a great job.
He’s showing up everywhere.
“Hey what do you got? Apples?
Well let’s put some cranberries in them;
we’ll call it cran-apple - go fifty fifty.
What do you got? Grapes? What about cran-grape?
What do you got? Mangos? Cran-mango!
What do you got? Pork chops? Cran-chops!”
Dean Burkey:
My mouth was dry,
but I needed to lick some stickers
to affix them in my niece’s storybook.
So I committed a series of heinous crimes.
And then when I got captured and brought to justice,
I collected the saliva of the victims’ families
and other protesters who spat at me on my way to trial.
In retrospect,
I suppose daubing tap water would’ve been easier.
Mitch Hedberg:
I miss the $2 bill, ‘cause I can break a two.
$20, no. $10, no. $5, maybe, $2?
Oh yeah. What do you need, a one and another one?
Woody Allen:
I was thrown out of NYU.
On my metaphysics final, they caught me cheating.
I looked within the soul of the boy sitting next to me.
