This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place
Good story, Not enough for a whole film
If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
5/24/18. OMG, Hari is absolutely funny. Like nerd funny. Like he just stands there and unassumingly throws out these hilarious lines throughout the stand-up. Watch it!
So I just finished this and I have to say, Hari Kondabolu is either a very insightful comic or utterly clueless. He complains about how "white people" can't differentiate between various ethnic groups, spends quite a bit on that, and then goes on to regurgitate stereotypes about "white people"; if this juxtaposition was intentional it's fairly clever, but somehow I don't think it was.We live in a time where a comedian can say whatever they want about "whites" without really incurring any risk to their career, so why should I be impressed by lame race jokes? While some of those jokes DID make me chuckle, overall I feel like his whole routine just wasn't that funny. It's great background noise, though. If you need to play something that you can just kind of ignore this fits the bill nicely.
Finally some good stand-up special on Netflix. I loved it! My cheeks hurt from laughing so hard.
