AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks
Lancoor A very feeble attempt at affirmatie action
ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
chamberienne This movie is two(ish) hours of nothing but laughter. the four guys; Ron White, Larry the Cable guy, Bill Engvall and Jeff Foxworthy are all gifted comedians. They each have a different style of comedy that is unique, but what really makes this different from any other comedy show that can be seen on TV is the way that they interact with each other during various parts of the film, and again at the end. Their storytelling and trying to outdo each other is priceless! It should be noted, however, that redneck comedy isn't for everyone. It can be a little base, but it's no worse than something that Chris Rock or Dennis Leary would perform, and frankly, it's much less profane. I give it an 8 because I haven't laughed this hard in years.
tedg Spoilers herein.It used to be that a standup comic would make an LP. Cosby, Prior... all the greats would have to generate funny from a universal place. We'd buy these for a specific laughing purpose which is all but forgotten now. Things have changed - DVDs have switched the economics of comedy, so that lesser talents can be moved into niches. Movies are all about inventing lives, so those niches are now defined by comics and routines that are all about helping the audience decide who they are.I thought little of this was funny, and none of the unpracticed stuff. If these guys really were blue collar comics, they would be genuinely funny people (we all know some) instead of professional storytellers with funny material.But I'll give them this: nearly all this humor is goodnatured. It invites the audience to poke fun at itself. Contrast this with most `black' humor, which helps its audience define itself by poking fun at others.Ted's Evaluation -- 1 of 3: You can find something better to do with this part of your life.
missy24x this is by far better than any comedy i have ever seen. i literally, not once, but twice wet my pants laughing at it. of course it did not help at all that i was enjoying a few cold ones at the time. these guys really know how to hit home with their jokes because all of it has happened to some of us at least once in our lives. some of us more than once. listening to them makes us all realize that maybe...possibly...we all have a little redneck in all of us. and if you don't think you do, then after watching these guys, you will be convinced. it will make you want to grab a beer and laugh "till you pee your pants"
Poe-17 I know this comedy show taped in Phoenix offends some people and others just don't get the southern humor. But if anything can cross lines, this video will.I'm at a loss to explain those who want to march on comedians, movies or any other creative endeavor that violates some politically correct niche the would be marchers inhabit. It's like Jay Leno making a frog comment and the letters pile in from some society dedicated to the prevention of amphibious slander.One commenter made notes of "prejudices" that had me laughing nearly as much as I laughed at the video. The rampant prejudice in their comedy is aimed not at any stereotype other than themselves; rednecks! Anyone believing these four men are the characters on stage is trapped inside television. This ain't real folks. They're playing parts like any actor.For profiling advice, see Ron White.Speaking of Ron, all these guys are hilarious. Yes, some of their material has been around long enough many have heard the routines, but they are funny and they are a comfortable ensemble. Larry the Cable Guy seems to be a "I wish I hadn't laughed at that crudity but I did" favorite, but I'm telling you Ron White is comedic genius.His pacing and timing is perfect, his delivery of the kind that one is born with, not learned. You can turn off the sound and he is still funny. He reminds me of Dean Martin's presence (not because of the cigarette and Manhattan) but because he has a subliminal connect with the audience. He comes out, he grins and they're all buddies before the first word comes out of his mouth.These guys, as a group and as individuals, are not stupid. You don't get to where they are by being idiots, only by portraying them. They know what they are doing.This video is about laughing, about laughing really hard because they talk about things that have happened to us, things we have felt. Life is sweet, life is beautiful, life can be ugly and hard, and, often, life, real life, is hilarious. And all those traits aren't isolate, they mix and mingle and complicate.This crew just reminds us of that.
