I'm biased, because although I'm not a huge fan of stand-up comedy, Rodney has always triggered my funny bone. His stuff is cheeky, crass and blatantly scripted without a hint of spontaneity. But to me, he pulls it off superbly, along with his expected "no respect" lines, fidgeting, adjusting his tie, self-degradation, etc. He was killer funny in Caddyshack.
He suffered greatly from depression, went through tumultuous times, but had a very long career in comedy and some movies.
My big concern would be choosing the main character, then his life. Is there enough of it to entertain an audience for the entirety of a film? I'd love to see someone make it work.
Any thoughts?
