not as good as all the hype
Charming and brutal
Best movie ever!
There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
View MoreEasily the worst stand up special on Netflix. Just rambles with no punch line. He has a long history of being a sexist pig but he manages to hide it in this, so he gets one star for that
View MoreNothing new here. All over the place, no comedic delivery. I want some originality when it comes to a Netflix Original, not a lecture any drunk friend can give you.
View MoreI guess I'll have to come to grips with being an old fuddy-duddy when it comes to stand-ups like Chris D'Elia. Great comics of the past like George Burns, Bob Hope, Red Skelton and Milton Berle didn't have to rely on effusive use of four letter words or an every other word insertion of the 'F' bomb in their routines to get laughs. Some of D'Elia's stuff is worth hearing, particularly when he riffs on people who think they're special by virtue of being alive. He builds a repertoire around my summary line above that you can tell sends some of those in his Vancouver audience a bit off-kilter because he's talking about them. While skewering traditional concepts like love, marriage and having kids, he doesn't really make it clear if he's still married himself after ten years. Maybe yes, maybe not, or maybe again; the guy's wife (if he's still married) probably spends a good part of her time shell shocked, because to him, love is, 'I guess...'. Hard to put that concept across without seeing his routine, so if you're up to it, check it out. I'd pass on another one of his specials.
View MoreThe first review... I have no idea what the person is talking about. If you are okay with profanity (which 90% of every internationally touring comedian use), you will enjoy his humor. From hilarious make-shift voices to talking about his real life stories - he's full of superb humor. I am 31 years old and found this special to be great! If you're of the 'old school' mindset or are easily offended by most things comics talk about, then yes, you won't like it. Then again, if you're that type of person you don't belong watching comedy and probably have an extremely lame personality. Best of luck to him in his future! The man has TALENT.
