I love Dustin Hoffman, truly. What a great actor!
That said, This is the worst depiction of Lenny Bruce ever. All he does is screech loudly & blast his audiences. After seeing stage productions, with actors whom seem to have really understood Bruce better, this is almost difficult to get through with his performance, especially since Bruce was a genius of his time. Fosse's direction was unique , & innovative, but hearing Hoffman just scream Bruce's routine ruins this for me everytime.
