Billy Crystal's boyhood. Those who want a classic load of jokes will be disappointed. 700 Sundays is more than just a stand-up set; rather, it is essentially a two-act play for one actor (who, of course, brilliantly portrays a wide range of characters). Crystal does not try to be funny at any cost when talking about his family, childhood and relationship with his father. The ending is much more sentimental, but that does not detract from the performance’s entertainment quality, as it is brilliantly written and acted from start to finish (and understatedly supplemented with home videos and lighting that adds meaning). Instead of offering up profound wisdom, Crystal lets the insights that he has gained in life flow gently from the stories that he tells. Even in life’s worst moments, we should not forget to laugh. 700 Sundays is an excellent way to remind ourselves of that and have our spirits lifted at the same time. 85%
