Much like everything else Frank D'angelo does, it was complete garbage. His own production, acting, and music make for one of the worst movies you will ever watch. You clearly need to be missing a few brain cells to enjoy it.
My only question is how much these people were paid, obviously by Frank, to give positive reviews ????? To anyone making good reviews on here, are you dumb or did you get paid? Idiots.
Frank, you are terrible at literally EVERYTHING you do. Go back to digging carrots out of the garden.
Plot summary
The Joke Thief takes us on a journey of one man's last hurrah. Simon McCabe is a stand up comedian who has been making people laugh for 35 years. All his life he has been the life of the party, but now he is tired, miserable and almost washed up since he's never got a lucky break due to a reputation of joke stealing. One fateful night, his longtime friend and fellow comedian convinces a comedy club owner to give Simon some stage time and one last shot at redemption. On the ride down to his gig, Simon takes us on a whirlwind journey of his life, as he replays back special moments in an emotional series of flash backs that made him the sad, funny man that he is today.

A Feel Good, Warm & Very Human Movie
This movie was nothing spectacular but it will hold your interest from start to finish. It is just a good-natured movie. I kept waiting for it to go from alright to great but it just never happened. Perhaps with a bigger budget, "The Joke Thief" could have been transformed into somtething very special. In epany event, it certainly is not terrible. The film centers around the life of a comedian who has a rep for stealing jokes. Basically, it takes you on a journey through his life. If moves by very quickly and seems more like a television show than a full length feature film.

There's a lot of stat padding going on here.
It's clear that in today's landscape we have films get their numbers and reviews placed by people involved with the movie. While quality is certainly somewhat subjective, the theory that stat padding is usually pretty clear when you've seen a movie that has much different reviews than the rest while those positive have it being the only one that account has filled out. Lesser known films this is more obvious.
This is certainly a case of that.
The Joke Thief is written, directed, starred, produced etc all by the same individual. A Canadian entrepreneur who has so much money that he basically creates movies as a hobby. It's too bad they aren't good ones.
Even the best scene in the movie is ruined by a reveal immediately afterwards that the movie is taking itself way too seriously. It's ironic that a movie called the Joke Thief doesn't have very many good ones.
Sometimes you find a small film and it's a welcome experience. You wonder how this is so under the radar. This one proves that sometimes small films aren't very widely known for a reason.
