Adam Rifkin is a certified genius. The Dark Backward is an amusing and disgusting tale of man that inspires to be a stand-up comedian. That sounds simple, right? Nope. The Dark Backward is a little "disturbing" for some, but others will find those disturbing parts hilarious like myself. Judd Nelson, Bill Baxton, Wayne Newton, James Caan, Lara Flynn Boyle, and Rob Lowe star in this crowning achievement. There are moments and shots in this film that I literally think about every single day. Adam Rifkin is one of my favorite directors of all time and he nails it with this flick and many others but this is one of the ones that stick out the most. I'm not a big comedy fan unless it is something new and unnatural and this is both of those things blended into one. Every actor's performance in this is wonderful and they bring so much humor to the table with You'll laugh, you'll gag, you might even throw up but it is all worth it, Trust me.
