In seeing the other kids reaction, she feels that she might have what it takes to be a comedian. She visits the local comedy club where she finds Tony Moroni who is a struggling comedian whose jokes are less than funny. Together Tony helps Janet find self-esteem and Janet helps Tony with his material.

This feels like a slightly uncomfortable but ultimately sweet TV movie from the early 80s. It’s earnest and a bit dated, but has a genuine heart about finding your confidence through humor.
