DVD Reviews of Chris Rock - Bigger and Blacker
DVD Review: Huge Fan
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm a HUGE fan so I may be a little biased. But Chris Rock's standup is the best I've ever seen, including this one!DVD Review: Poor
Summary: 1 Stars
Sorry, I usually appreciate your comedy, but not this time. You crossed the line with the polio -- our best friend died recently from post-polio conditions. Little is known these days, as you profess, of the disease. Little is known of post-polio and its affects. They are as harmful and degenerating as polio itself. To poke fun is an insult to those who suffered the disease and you have no idea of the after-affects of post-polio.DVD Review: 4 stars......you have to hear the Godfrey CD for a 5 star comedy review
Summary: 4 Stars
It's Chris Rock.....the man is very, very funny....BUT the newer guys, especially Godfrey...are expanding on the theme and really have moved to where comedy is headed. Check out the Godfrey CD if you dig Chris, Eddie, Pryor, even the Blue Collar stuff really. I can't state it enough how funny the Godfrey 'Godspeed' CD is.....DVD Review: This **** is hilarious!!!
Summary: 4 Stars
Not that quick kinda jerk, "Like...(thwack, thwack, thwack)...Did you hear something?!"
This is Chris Rock at his very best. If you know of another DVD by him that's just as funny, let me know!
I will definitely be buying this because some of what he says, is SO true!
DVD Review: A modern classic
Summary: 5 Stars
Rock is perhaps the sharpest stand-up working today (though Carlin is still trenchant, to say the least), and this is his peak. Crafting a well-nigh perfect performance using his pissed-off ghetto persona, Rock hits the bull's eye again and again here. His delivery is razor-sharp, the material pretty much flawless; this will still be hilarious in fifty years.
I've seen hundreds of stand-up routines; this is the only one I've watched over a dozen times. It never seems to grow old...I don't know how it's always funny, but it is. When I've got to either laugh immmediately or die of post-modern deconstructivist meta-ironic brainache, this is the pick. The cd is nowhere near as good, different takes on the same material but without the edge.
Five stars, no doubt.
Description of Chris Rock - Bigger and Blacker
' 'The funniest man in America' ' according to Time magazine and Vanity Fair, presents an hour of ' 'riotously funny' ' (Entertainment Weekly) and ' 'breathtakingly provocative' ' (Chicago Sun-Times) outstanding stand-up comedy.Comedian Chris Rock makes a raucous return to his stand-up roots in this HBO special filmed at Harlem's legendary Apollo Theater. Despite his manic and profane delivery, Rock's comedy is often rooted in traditional subjects for comedians: family relationships, misunderstandings between men and women, and observations on how childhood has changed. But he takes his material right to the edge, proving himself to be a sharp-eyed satirist. Serious and timely issues, such as school shootings or children being neglected by partying parents, are tackled by Rock, who's not afraid to slip in a serious point while being hysterically funny. His defense of President Clinton against his accusers is a good example of how Rock's material is almost always bound to offend someone: he slices through the self-righteous rhetoric of the impeachment spectacle, but even the behavior he defends comes in for ridicule with jokes that are extremely funny as well as extremely coarse. The pace of this one-hour show is uneven, and some viewers will no doubt find Rock's penchant for using profanity as punctuation tiresome. But those who like intelligent comedy with a hard edge will find much to laugh at in Chris Rock: Bigger and Blacker. -- Robert?J. McNamara
