  Review by Megan Bitchell 2

  I literally don’t care if I never find a husband but if I don’t find a comedy partner that makes me as happy as these two were it’s gonna be all over for me I’m so serious

  Just who I wanted to see speak about comedy, Tom Brokaw!

  Review by Philip Ketchum ★★★

  Doesn't offer a whole lot outside of the duo's friendship before and during their years together and some footage of them in action. Would have loved to have seen what caused the rift that happened between them to cause the break up and their outstanding prolific solo careers

  Review by 🥀 e m m é ★★★★

  The repeated use of “Huguenot Balloon Drive” in Nichols & May sketches is everything to me.

  As a documentary though, this is just clips of their television appearances with comedians like Steve Martin and Robin Williams saying, “They were intelligent—but funny!” in between.

  Review by Cinema_Strikes ★★★

  Nothing special as a documentary, just a basic overview of their career, but goddamn are those clips funny. Worth watching just for the footage of their routines. This sent me down a rabbit hole.

  Girls don’t want boyfriends they want Elaine May! 

  Incredibly charming & a wonderful resource to first introduce yourself to the dynamic duo & be witness their incredible chemistry.

  Review by Alex Small ★★★

  This did a pretty good job of breaking down the duos' career as a team. But I could have used a look at their lives away from the cameras and microphones, and what drove them. This could have used another thirty minutes.

  Review by Maureen Lenker ★★½

  Documentaries have really vastly improved, and Nichols and May deserve something much more in depth and interesting than this

  Elaine May I am begging you like I have never begged anybody for anything else ever before PLEASE give me a chance

  Little more than a clip show with some very simple talking heads (Steve Martin's kinda the only one I'd call useful but Irving Penn's just so darn cute); some gags playing out in a very total-totality but when they're as GOOD as the mother and son telephone call (May's acting here is unironically SO great), who gives a hoot
