Good story, Not enough for a whole film
Awesome Movie
Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
View MoreIt is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review
View MoreI got this DVD after having seen bits of their humor before. I have seen it at least 5 times since. It just never gets old. Except for Larry TCG the characters do not seem to be acting. Even Larry is convincing a no-class bubba, but I have seen his early work before when he went by his give name (Dan Whitney). He is actually from Nebraska but he makes one great southern bubba (and I am from the deep south, so trust me on this one).These guys all exude their own kind of cool. They are comfortable in their own skins and make you feel like they'd all be fun to hang out with. Jeff Foxworthy and Bill Engvall come across as two guys that you would like to have as neighbors or co-workers. Their humor never strays far from everyday life and its unexpected twists. It doesn't have to because they know how to tell a story.Engvall's "here's your sign" jokes (he awards people a "stupid" sign to wear when they do or say something idiotic) and Foxworthy's "You may be a redneck if....." jokes abound and are still funny. Even though the material is a staple of their respective work, they keep updating it with new ones. For the die hard fans these jokes are a must. Foxworthy has some "new" redneck words as well.Ron white, who comes across as a somewhat more intense character, is funny but a bit darker. His shows uses what appear to be real demons from his past to make you laugh, and laugh you will.If I were to make a movie with these guys I'd put it in a used car lot in the deep south with Foxworthy and Engvall as quasi-straight salesmen selling various autos to the same type of people they usually make fun of. White would be the dubious owner and Larry TCG as the mechanic/tow truck driver (there's a stretch). It would be like the movie "Used Cars" meets "Green Acres".
View MoreI first watched this movie not even a month after a very tragic time in my life. I had just lost my grandmother. And in the midst of all the pain i was suffering, i laughed till i cried throughout the whole movie!!! The guys did an absolutely awesome job. I'm looking forward to seeing them do comedy together in the future. Oh and just thought i would add this in...... RON WHITE is HOT!!!!!!!!! :o) And to add one more thing i thought was so funny..... my parents watched this with me and then went to bed. I heard them yelling for me in their bedroom so i walked in and dad was laughing so hard he could hardly tell me. Mom had asked him if he liked it and if he thought it was good, Dad replied "did we do something all ready " and mom said Here's your sign. I rolled on the floor laughing. It was so funny!! I thought that Bill,would enjoy reading this one. Keep up the good work guys! Can't want to see if there is a part 2 to this film. My whole family has bought this movie and we all love it. We continue to laugh every time we watch it. It really was amazing. Sincerely, Amanda
View MoreComedy, for the most part, is rather subjective. There are some artists, Bill Cosby comes to mind, that transcend ethnic, gender and political lines. 'Subjectively' speaking, Blue Collar Comedy Tour left me limp and gasping for breath, I laughed so hard. After watching it on Comedy Central, it's funny enough that I will actually go spend money to purchase the movie! For me, that is telling. I'm not a redneck, per se, and this is more than 'You might be a Redneck if...' comedy. Not ever having seen Ron White or Larry, the Cable Guy before, I didn't know their work. Larry's caricature left me feeling he was a southern, podunk hick, and his admonitions that 'No matter who you are, that's funny' left me a little dry. Okay, what he was talking about *was* funny, but if you didn't know that already, it was probably past your bedtime.Ron White is just plain down and out funny. His timing is wonderful, and you don't get what you expect. You do laugh a lot, and you need to put down your beer before he starts talking, lest you blow it out your nose!Bill Engval is the funniest comedian in this line up. If you don't know Bill's work, watch the movie. You will become a fan. His 'Here's your Sign' stuff is funny, but has gotten like Foxworthy's 'You might be a redneck...' However, Bill shines in that he can talk about anything at home, and have you rolling on the floor.Jeff Foxworthy was the draw of the concert series for those who didn't know the others. He still is funny, but his work doesn't seem to show the freshness that it used to. Maybe he needs to take lessons from Engval. However, his telling of the 'beaver and the nipple' story shows that he still has the touch. The last part of the movie is the kicker. Pause the movie before all four sit down and start telling stories, get another beer, and empty your bladder. I was laughing so hard that I couldn't breathe! The four of them together is the quintesential four 'Good ol' boys' on a Sunday afternoon. It is classic comedy. This movie is one of those movies that you need to watch!
View MoreI 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.
