Swanson, the lump of humanity at the center of “The Comedy,” has money and privilege, but no class. As he waits for his rich father to die, Swanson (Tim Heidecker) spends his days hanging out with his pals, drinking, riding his bike, working at menial jobs more out of boredom than economic necessity and luring women back to the sailboat he keeps moored in the waters off New York City. What appeals to these women? The film does not bother to say, or even to give them names.

Directed by Rick Alverson, from a script he wrote with Robert Donne and Colm O’Leary, “The Comedy” is, with respect to its main character and principal conceit, an entirely conventional movie. The underachieving, overweight man-child is a stock figure in Hollywood comedies, and making the protagonist a thoroughly unpleasant person has become a staple of independent cinema. Mr. Alverson and Mr. Heidecker should be congratulated, I guess, for rigorously refusing to make Swanson the least bit sympathetic.
