Dennis Harvey Film CriticViewers before them had first-generation “Saturday Night Live” and “SCTV.” But five Canadian lads turned out to be “kind of the only comedy group that reflected Gen X,” as fan Fred Armisen puts it in “The Kids in the Hall: Comedy Punks.” Reg Harkema’s documentary is a breezy, worthy overview of a collective career now approaching its 40th anniversary.While best enjoyed by the already converted, it provides enough showbiz insight and interpersonal drama to entertain newbies. It will provide both camps with an appetizer for the Kids’ limited-run reboot of their original sketch series, which new episodes (featuring an array of name guest stars) launch May 13 on Amazon Prime, followed by this doc a week later (on May 20).

It’s not known as well as it was in Canada, but during the 80s and 90s, “The Kids In The Hall” was one of the most beloved sketch comedies up North, the heir apparent of SCTV. Consisting of comedians Dave Foley, Bruce McCulloch, Kevin McDonald, Mark McKinney, and Scott Thompson, “The Kids In The Hall” aired for five seasons from 1988 to 1995, then there was the 1996 movie, “Kids in the Hall: Brain Candy,” but besides reunion tours, one-offs, and the 2010 “Death Comes to Town,” mini-series, that was basically the extent of the ‘Kids,’ members found success in Hollywood and scattered around in different projects (Dave Foley was notably the first breakout star who had a long run on the American sitcom “NewsRadio”).
