FILM REVIEW: 'Certifiably Jonathan' Mockumentary Fails to Capture Jonathan Winters' Essence

With his debut documentary feature, filmmaker Jim Pasternak has clearly decided to attempt to emulate the free-associative, off-kilter humor pioneered by his subject, legendary comedian Jonathan Winters. Unfortunately, the mockumentary-style result proves a misshapen mess that hardly does justice to its man it purports to celebrate. Bound to disappoint diehard Winters fans while leaving the uninitiated baffled, Certifiably Jonathan doesn’t begin to fully suggest the range of the comedian’s brilliance and lasting influence.
