A hotshot comedian mentors a New Jersey housewife who’s determined to become a stand-up comic. Along the way, the pair become close friends., After wowing audiences in Big, Tom Hanks followed it up with this comedy drama about a broke stand-up comedian who meets a bored housewife with aspirations of a career in comedy. He takes her under his wing and shows her the ropes but when the opportunity for fame and stardom arises, it’s every man and woman for themselves. Also starring Sally Field, John Goodman and Damon Wayans., On is a brash youngster, the other a housewife and mother; both put themselves through a gruelling apprenticeship at a downtown comedy club in order to set themselves on the road to stand-up stardom., Sally Field goes the Roseanne route in Punchline. Field plays a housewife and mother who suddenly develops the urge to be a comedienne. Her comic instincts are on target, but her timing and delivery stinks. Tom Hanks, a stand-up comic with a few years’ experience under his belt, offers to teach Field the ropes. As they get to know each other, Hanks and Field begin to pick up on each other’s shortcomings; though Hanks has far more talent than Field, for example, he has a positively ruinous habit of expressing his deep-down dislike of everyone else in the world, and this frequently alienates his audience. Writer-director David Seltzer times Punchline like a good joke; he continually sets up for the expected, then pulls a last-minute fast one, keeping the film lively and unpredictable throughout. The supporting cast, coincidentally including future Roseanne star John Goodman, is uniformly superb., Two aspiring comics, one a brash youngster, the other a housewife and mother, put themselves through a gruelling apprenticeship at a downtown comedy club in order to set themselves on the road to stand-up stardom. Both hilariously funny and depressingly sad, the film features fine performances from Field and Hanks and, despite the Hollywood budget, remains surprisingly cliche-free., A hotshot comic helps a promising newcomer., Sally Field is the timid housewife who dreams of being a stand-up comic, but clearly needs help. She finds a mentor in Tom Hanks, a failed student with more time for comedy than surgery. But awkward husband John Goodman makes juggling her home life with her ambition no fun.
