Sleepwalk With Me Free movie streaming "I'm going to tell you a story, and it's true....I always have to tell people that." So asserts comedian-turned-playwright-turned-filmmaker Mike Birbiglia directly to the viewer at the outset of his autobiographically inspired, fictional feature debut. Birbiglia wears his incisive wit on his sleeve while portraying a cinematic surrogate. We are thrust into the tale of a burgeoning stand-up comedian struggling with the stress of a stalled career, a stale relationship threatening to race out of his control, and the wild spurts of severe sleepwalking he is desperate to ignore. Based on the successful one-man show, Sleepwalk With Me engages in the kind of passionate and personal storytelling that transfigures intimate anguish into comic art. -- (C) IFC Release Date Sleepwalk With Me Aug 24, 2012 Limited

Review For Sleepwalk With Me
From start to finish, his character, called Matt Pandamiglio, is all by his lonesome -- reaching out of the fog. He's a funny fog person. David Edelstein-New York Magazine The film acts as both a diary of a sidewinding comic stylist finding his style, almost by accident, and a reminder to all post-collegiate boyfriends and girlfriends that "OK" probably isn't good enough for either party. Michael Phillips-Chicago Tribune It's slight. Roger Moore-McClatchy-Tribune News Service This is a movie for anyone who's ever been unsure, and surely that's everyone. Tom Long-Detroit News A smart, neurotic slice-of-life comedy about a stand-up comic with confidence issues, commitment issues, and career issues. Steven Rea-Philadelphia Inquirer Birbiglia's pleasingly nasal delivery and agreeable presence holds it together. Colin Covert-Minneapolis Star Tribune So do hang on and tough it out through the early awkwardness: once the truth starts hitting the fan/fans...it's a production that no one will sleep through. S. James Wegg-JWR Even though the story does have its serious elements, it is very funny. Robert Roten-Laramie Movie Scope Full of shaggy self-deprecation and wistful romantic realization, Sleepwalk with Me is an amiable tale of beta-male discovery. Brent Simon-Shared Darkness Even if comedian Mike Birbiglia doesn't have more stories worth telling on film, he's done one movie that sneaks up on an audience and earns its attention. John Wirt-Advocate (Baton Rouge, LA) It isn't the typical romcom with a happy ending and rosy outlook all around, but it spins its wheels in familiar territory too often and takes a lazy approach to its central relationship, even as its sleepwalking scenes hit all the right notes. Eric Melin-Scene-Stealers.com Birbiglia is boyish, a calm talker, and just meek enough to keep his punch lines surprising but not so meek that he's unlikable. (If anything, Birbiglia is extremely likable.) Tricia Olszewski-Washington City Paper Modestly amusing autobiographically inspired work of fiction. Dennis Schwartz-Ozus' World Movie Reviews It's not until the movie's second half that it really picks up momentum and builds drama. But by the time Sleepwalk with Me crosses the finish line, it's difficult not to genuinely like everyone involved. Jeffrey M. Anderson-Common Sense Media ... pleasant entertainment with overtones of personal confession ... Jim Lane-Sacramento News & Review There is something worthwhile about a comic who has the guts to admit not everything that arises from his lips is worthy of Mark Twain. Dan Lybarger-KC Active Ultimately, the film becomes an admirable, but flawed piece of work. The comedy bits work well, but the overall story leaves something to be desired. Jeremy Lebens-We Got This Covered An amusing but innocuous movie that wants to be liked, loved, perhaps even hugged (Birbiglia isn't shy about exposing his love handles). John Beifuss-Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) The movie is hilariously funny and witty. Although messy at times, Matt's relationship with Abby is sweet and endearing. The sleepwalking incidents are the weakest links in the narrative, because it is difficult to show on screen the vividness of... Keith Cohen-Entertainment Spectrum This is unquestionably the funniest movie you'll ever see about a doomed relationship coupled with a life-threatening sleep-disorder. Mathew DeKinder-St. Louis Post-Dispatch yet another film about an underachieving (but bright and talented) character trying to make it in world of straights who don't immediately recognize how wonderful he is. Philip Martin-Arkansas Democrat-Gazette It's not the most novel character arc in the world, but sometimes a story doesn't need to break new ground. Sometimes it's enough for it to feel comfortable, maybe even familiar, and make you smile. Alison Gang-San Diego Union-Tribune
