DVD Reviews of Bill Maher - New Rules
DVD Review: Smug and Arrogant
Summary: 1 Stars
Can't stand Bill Maher. He is self-righteous and arrogant and that comes across in a major way in this. If you are liberal and have no common sense then you'll love this. However, if you live in the real world then you'll find this as contrived as I did.DVD Review: Just Good Fun...
Summary: 5 Stars
You don't have to be a "left-wing liberal loon" to enjoy good Maher humor. But... it probably helps to at least have a good sense of humor. You may not agree with all of Maher's beliefs (I certainly don't,) but New Rules was good Maher fun. Quite frankly, this was Maher (and the good HBO writers!) at his best.
If you're familiar with Maher's cable show, Real Time with Bill Maher on HBO, then I'm sure you've probably seen all of this material. This is because it is literally the New Rules segments that come from his show. However, I don't have HBO (and don't intend to get it) so it was a really refreshing alternative. I found New Rules to be an extremely funny DVD. I laughed through-out the entire DVD. It was totally worth the price.
DVD Review: wrldtrvlr
Summary: 2 Stars
Not what I was expecting. This DVD is simply short clips from his shows over the years. I expected at least a little something more. DVD Review: Bill Maher - New Rules
Summary: 4 Stars
I recommend it to anyone who has ever laughed because I can almost be certain beyond doubt that you will laugh out loud at least a few times while reading this book. Whether you are left-wing, right-wing, or niether.DVD Review: Needs better production
Summary: 3 Stars
This had some funny NR, but I have to be honest here, it could've benefited from some extras. This disk is very spare; very short, as well.
If you do this kind of undertaking, you better make sure you do a master set by publishing all or most of the good NR. Which would've equalled to about an hour and thirty minutes or more.
Overall, I watched this as an abridged greatest hits edition.
Still, not bad for the price.

Easter Eggs
Bill Maher's New Rules plays like a "greatest hits" compilation that you don't want to end. Compiled from the most popular segment of the HBO original series Real Time with Bill Maher, it's a fitting showcase for Maher's take-no-prisoners approach to political humor, in which the veteran comedian/pundit invents "new rules" in response to the insanity of current events, celebrity trivia, and the nonsensical irritants that pop up in the media on a regular basis. In collaboration with his gifted writing team, Maher delivers a constant barrage of hilarious yet eminently sensible solutions to the foibles of modern society, from common sense ("no more cell phones in movie theaters!") to harmlessly risqu? ("lap dancing is a First Amendment right"), appropriately sarcastic ("the end of Friends is not a national tragedy!"), and just plain clever ("whenever they award an Oscar?, they should take one back"). Maher's flawless delivery of these "new rules" (culled from the first three seasons of Real Time) results in a steady flow of laugh-out-loud observations and punch lines, like this one about the same-sex marriage controversy: "All marriages are same-sex marriages--you go to bed every night, and it's the same sex!" And when he's not making funny suggestions about the effects of global warming ("all hurricane names should be scary!"), Maher delivers scathing editorials (mostly aimed at the Bush administration) and performs in comedic sketches like the "Accu-Terror Forecast" or "Ken Burns' Vietnam," spoofing the Civil War documentary style with a Bush-bashing segment called "A National Guardsman's Letter to Home," in which Maher (as Bush) reads a letter to his parents about the "hardships" of Vietnam-era service... in Alabama. Although the main feature runs a mere 45 minutes, there's an additional 28 minutes of material in the bonus features, including several "new rules Extras" and four hilarious "editorials" including Maher's demand for a presidential recall election! Some of Maher's issue-related jokes will grow dated as their timely relevance fades, but New Rules provides a brilliantly comedic appraisal of the early 21st century, from a smart, incisive comedian who'll boldly go where most comics fear to tread. --Jeff Shannon
