Lunch Audience Reviews

Karry Best movie of this year hands down!
Unlimitedia Sick Product of a Sick System
Acensbart Excellent but underrated film
Portia Hilton Blistering performances.
Shirley S Lunch is a great documentary. It has famous Hollywood writers in one place sharing stories, from their personal life (like Arthur Marx talking about his relationship with his father Groucho Marx) to what was going through their head while writing those classic sitcoms (like MASH). These writers have lots of memories. I loved hearing them. It's nice to hear the story of how they formed this special lunch group. They each feel honored to be part of this lunch. I feel like it's a privilege for the rest of us to be part of it through this film. I love watching TV sitcoms and watching movies at home. If you are like me and are a fan of good TV and movies, you will enjoy watching this film.
Martin Robbins I live for comedy. A good laugh gets me through the day and I love it how a funny guest can liven up any party. The documentary "Lunch" is like having a dinner party with some of the most lively, entertaining guests imaginable. "Lunch" follows a group of legendary comedy writers who meet for lunch every other week in Los Angeles. At easch lunch they discuss the old days, current events and what its like being old. Each subject is handles with wit and grace and each member is interviewed and their current situations are shared. The documentary breezes by and I was left wanting more. This documentary is a must for any fan of classic TV. You won;t regret it.
Adam Ackerman As a huge fan of all types of comedy, I found this to be like the holy grail. There is no way you could jam this much history, knowledge, experience, wisdom and wit into a few hours. You could literally not ask for more big names in the world of comedy writing, Carl Reiner, Arthur Hiller, Hal Kanter and Sid Caesar have been eating lunch together at the same restaurant on Wednesdays. They talked about the business, current trends, and of course comedy. Times change, comedy changes, the city of LA changes, but the connection and friendship they have will not. These are the men who shaped the style that American comedy was founded on, and it is quite amazing learning about how they did it.
Jjax889 "Lunch" is a documentary of a bunch of legendary comedy writers who have a weekly bi-weekly lunch at Factor's deli in Los Angeles. They meet talk about politic, talk about the past and give each other a hard time. In between the filmed footage of the lunch each member is interviewed and their back story is flushed out and their current situation is examined. This was my favorite part of the film. It was kinda sad watching these legends of comedy struggle to find traction in a modern world that has determined them to be over the hill. The great thing is these aren't the type to mope, they get up dust of the computer and continue to write. A must view for anyone who loves the classic comedies. I throughly enjoyed this film!
