DVD Reviews of Mr. Warmth: The Don Rickles Project
DVD Review: VERY disappointing
Summary: 1 Stars
Don Rickles has been a favorite of mine for decades. But, in this program, I could NOT believe the obscene language coming out of his mouth. At 82 years old, I think he should be cleaning up his act a little. He was HILARIOUS in many TV specials including the Dean Martin Roasts, and countless varitey shows.
If this is a sample of how he conducts himself in modern "live" shows, then I want no part of it. I wish they WOULD release a compilation of his older (and much cleaner) performances.
DVD Review: classic
Summary: 4 Stars
If you like Don Rickles or would like to learn more about him , get this 2 DVD set. There are some funny moments from Rickles' shows , the great cigarette box incident with Johnny Carson and stories from Rickles' childhood and time in the Navy in WW2. The real treasure here is the interviews with stars who have worked with him over the years. Many wonderful anecdotes about the Copacabana , the tough nightclub scene and the many people Rickles worked with and became friends with over the years. The second bonus dvd has great short commentaries and stories by many great stars. This is as much about show business history as it is about Rickles . Get it while you still can !!DVD Review: Very Funny
Summary: 5 Stars
John Landis has done a brilliant job of capturing the essence of the inimitable Don Rickles; the "hockey pucks" who criticize the film as veering from the average (and predictable) documentary format have completely missed the point. A unique talent deserves a unique showcase, and Landis has created a film which not only appropriately honors Rickles' extraordinary talent, humor and intelligence, but also provides a solid hour-and-a-half of near non-stop hilarity. By the time the end credits roll, your face will ache from smiling and laughing - yet you'll be hard-pressed to explain just exactly what was so funny. That's the genius of Don Rickles - his hysterical insult riffs come so fast and furious that it's impossible to explain what exactly makes the magic. But why dissect it? Just sit back and enjoy the highly-crafted work of one of the greatest comics of all time - captured in a feel-good movie by a thoughtful (if unconvnetional) documentarian...I guarantee you'll laugh your head off!DVD Review: Don Rickles, the past and the present.
Summary: 4 Stars
This is worth the price and the 2 set DVD is interesting. I was however disappointed that one of the DVD disks was scratched when shipped.
The DVD shows his career from the beginning, the Johnny Carson years and the Las Vegas time period.
If you like his sense of humor, you will like this DVD.
Three to four stars.Mr. Warmth: The Don Rickles Project

DVD Review: Mr. Warmth: The Don Rickles Project
Summary: 5 Stars
What an outstanding documentary. Mr. Rickles has remained elusive to the cameras most of his riotous career. He has made guest appearances on various talk and variety shows, but rarely do these formats do him justice. He seems most at home in recent years on Late Show with David Letterman, but as funny as Don can be with Dave, nothing compares to seeing him live. This documentary is the closest we'll ever come to seeing one of the funniest men on the planet in his element. We see his outrageous antics onstage, and we are privileged to see his life offstage. I can watch this over and over (as I have), and never stop laughing. If you haven't seen Don Rickles live, you have to - you'll never forget it. And if you have, you probably already own this dvd. If you believe in being politically correct, perhaps you should rethink this purchase given how tight money is for most these days. But if you enjoy laughing your @ss off, you owe it to yourself, and your @ss, to have this handy.
