... how, after years of rebelling and patronizing people for being phony, he finally learns that his parents were not as uptight s he had thought.

I agree that if you haven't watched any of Hicks' comedy you should do that before watching the documentary.

Having said that, it was a great story of Bill Hicks' life. There were points, however, that some of the digitally enhanced story telling was a bit over the top -- animating old photographs got old to watch after a while. But it was still a good telling of his life, in my opinion.

Jerry Sienfeld BETTER?
So dig out your AMEX Card Jump on the zipline to your NSX and run for the cereal aisle. Jump on that mass produced made for advertising schtik.
If Sienfeld hadn't had Madison Ave's wet dream TV show on the epitome of network television desperation with their Media/News flogging it 24/7 he'd still be the warm up act at Catch a Rising Star if its even still there.
The sartest thing I believe I ever heard Sienfeld say was "I want to be Bill Hicks"
If you want to use another comic to bash him with George Carlin and possibly Lenny Bruce are the only real comparisons.
True comedy isn't always about the yuks
