DVD Reviews of Dane Cook - Vicious Circle
DVD Review: Vicious Circle
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great stand up video of Dane Cook, the stories he tells is quite like the stand up from Eddie Murphy in the 80's, but, is original. A great date flick,or, if you just want to laugh until you cry, Dane Cook can do that. Great story telling and lots of energy, this DVD is a must have for comedy lovers!DVD Review: By a round of aplause, how do you feel?
Summary: 3 Stars
Dane Cook proves that a stand up comedian can get the same reactions from an audience as a rockstar. Great show, but those of you that don't live in the US should either get an American DVD-player, or just watch it on your computer.DVD Review: Comedians are supposed to make you laugh
Summary: 1 Stars
When the camera followed Dane from the dressing room to the stage in this performance, he looked troubled. After the performance, I could see why. He isnt funny anymore, and I think he knows it. He spends 10 minutes on a story about a guy who invites him to a party, he lies and says he will be there and doesnt show up. This story, like all the other "jokes" in this show, meanders on and on and on and never arrives at anything resembling a point or a punch line. He attempts over and over to describe real life situations we can all relate to, but he fails miserably to offer unique insights to make these situations funny. Dane Cook was funny early in his career, but he is out of gas. Dane laughs at his jokes way more than I did. Waste of time.DVD Review: Excellent comedy!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of Dane Cook's best performances. Awesome stand up comedy performance by Dane Cook. It is great how he correlates everyday life into his jokes. The guy is truly talented.DVD Review: Over rated, nothing new
Summary: 1 Stars
If you have see one Dane Cook stand up rountine you have seen them all. Same over the top jumping around and noises, same lack of any real jokes.
I don't understand his popularity. I keep giving him another try but I just don't laugh.
I would suggest checking out anything by Louis C.K. or Bob Kelly, both are much funnier.
Description of Dane Cook - Vicious Circle
Studio: Hbo Home Video Release Date: 11/28/2006 Rating: NrDane Cook receives a rock star's welcome from a packed arena in this stand-up concert originally broadcast on HBO. But the jury may still be out on whether Cook is phenomenally funny or simply a phenomenon. He is certainly a master of the new media. Cook has savvily marketed himself on the Internet to his target college-age audience, and they have embraced him as a fellow "bro" and "dude," who would seemingly be awesome to party with. In his timbre and physicality, he has the shaggy, likeable quality of Will Farrell, another frat boy favorite. Cook is a man of his people. At one point, he is interrupted by a drunken Boston Red Sox fan who wants to shake his hand. Cook then leaps off the stage and chases him up the aisle to give him a send-off hug, all the while being clapped on the back and offered high and low fives by the cheering audience. Cook comes complete with arrested development lingo, such as "Here's what drove me banana sandwich," that will no doubt be repeated around the dorm.
Don't look to Cook for satirical insights on politics, the war, or even pop culture. His world view is much narrower. In Vicious Circle he expounds on the pleasures and traps of lying, male crying, being sneezed on, his father's robe, bad relationships, and sundry sexual matters that cannot be printed here. Cook takes awhile to get where he's going, but his digressions are often funnier than the pay offs. He puts the brakes on one story during which he mimes driving a car to remark that if he were actually driving this way, he would be all over the road. During other bits, he parses the different spray modes on Windex, and takes the phrase "being cheated on" literally. And it takes some kind of associative genius to compare a certain female body part to a high school stage theatre curtain. The less than well received Employee of the Month aside, Cook is currently king of the comedy hill. Vicious Circle offers a time capsule look at these heady good times for the great Dane. As for where he goes from here, the good news is that Steve Martin once filled arenas like this. The bad news: So did Andrew Dice Clay. --Donald Liebenson
