I grew up on Crystal and would call myself a fan but haven't seen much other than City Slickers and When Harry Met Sally. I've always loved him in whatever other movie I've seen or other appearance I've seen him do. I've always liked him. 61* is a fantastic movie.

This was a great act by a top notch performer, well told with honestly. The story is dark but Crystal acknowledges this but he doesn't steep in it. He never makes it a sob story, he's just telling you his story. He lets the weight of the seriousness sink in and doesn't rush the next joke. But he also doesn't leave you hanging long.

His childhood is basically where pop culture started for me so it's fun to hear the rise of that stuff through his eyes. And it's not all about him, he turns it into a way for you to look at your life and how to make the most of it. I think he wanted to get some things off his chest, make people laugh and try to be helpful.
