DVD Reviews of Ellen DeGeneres - The Beginning / Here and Now

DVD Review: I can watch over and over and over and LAUGH each time
Summary: 5 Stars

I love these stand up routines. They are thought provoking, funny, serious, intelligent. I have watched them many times and have showed them to many friends. Ellen is a GREAT comedian and her material is original. With this set you are getting two of her stand up routines--well worth the money. And, if you ever feel down, just pop one in and laugh uncontrollably.

DVD Review: Ellen Degeneres
Summary: 5 Stars

These tapes are so funny and entertaining. I laughed so hard and I ended up buying a set for my sister. Worth it.

DVD Review: This woman is brilliant.
Summary: 5 Stars

I don't see how anyone could not love Ellen DeGeneres. The woman is brilliant. I just love how witty she is & enjoy her clever ability to use every day situations that we all have shared experience in to help us enjoy the irony in life. I love her. :)

DVD Review: Excellent Performances
Summary: 5 Stars

I have always loved Ellen. These CDs allow you to enjoy her as a stand up act. Some of her best work.

DVD Review: What a disappointment!
Summary: 1 Stars

Her show was aired tonight as part of a series of the best stand up comedians of our time and I made sure I was around to see this. A big fan of her persona and on most issues in line with her views in a broader sense I even insisted my family stayed up to watch her 'live'.

I am perplexed to see the couple of reviews already as I found it absolutely disappointing. It seems from her show and the reviews it was more a question of validating her 'coming out' rather than meant as comedy. Sure she made a few nice anecdotes mostly about the obvious frustrations of our time but she did not manage to make any of us do more than smile a couple of times - not once did we laugh out loud. I have full and total respect for her bravery in coming out in a country so divided over an issue we don't even consider an issue in Europe but I fail to see why people should pay to go to a show or buy a DVD because of that... send her a donation or a letter of admiration if you want to support her.....

Unless the show erroneously was labeled stand-up comedy and it is meant as a tribute to Ellen or her sexuality I totally miss the point of this show and cannot recommend it to anyone looking for a decent laugh.

I certainly will need to build credibility again before anyone will listen to my recommendations on stand-up comedy again!
