Why so much hype?
Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.
The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
It's not as good the chappelle show, but its got some really good moments, and dave is still dave.
Chappelle is still funny. He himself is an effing troll, standup style, after lurking all these years. And granted he's dated, but still he's taken a lesson or two from others sprung up in his wake and he knows how to write for the issues of the day, showing that his comedic personality, in spite of great exaggerations to the contrary, has yet not undergone full demise.One thing for sure, the man is a Cosby disciple to the core, except, er, for ostensibly not excelling in the rape department. I only notice this now that Cosby is basically dead and Chappelle is riding roughshod, getting cheered over Cosby's corpse, it's obvious that Dave has taken his core lessons from Cosby. Look at all the white people laughing and practically begging for his approval while he makes fun of them. In any case, it's amazing how he can get us laughing hard enough at both Cosby and O.J. Simpson to not mind when reminds of their respective achievements.I'm still laughing too but no way I'm ever gonna pay for it.
he used to be great but he has relied upon the same jokes now for about 10 years and there is nothing "special" about this special. I am sure there are plenty of bad reviews based on his politics but this special just stinks. While he blames the bad reviews on the "alt- right", he should probably be looking in the mirror. I am sure any 10 review is solely based on his political statements not this special.Probably the worst stand-up show ever, jokes stolen from other comics, he seems to be getting more bitter and nasty and much less funny, almost like he's a caricature of herself. I don't know which was worse in this show: his in a tight leather dress or his political comments or her describing how gross her private parts are.
