Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

CalebVallencourt My wife and I have a 5-minute rule on comedians. I have turned off Fred Armisan. Jerrod is hilarious, but in a twisted way.

dentrolice I have never seen the ' stand-up before but decided to see it because I really have enjoyed their cartoon on Animation Domination/FXX. However, after seeing it I must say that their act is DEFINITELY not for everyone. First, you have to be able to laugh at pot-head humor. After all, they are both self-avowed pot users and much of their humor centers around this. I am not offended by the notion of legalization of drugs but laughing at drugs isn't my thing. Second, you have to have a high tolerance for their slow, slow style...the style of two pot-heads! A few of the jokes worked well, many fell flat and the whole Richard Nixon angle just was unfunny, made no sense and went no where-- particularly with the cartoon at the end. Overall, I neither hated nor particularly loved it. There are definitely better comedians out there...but sadly there are many much worse!

Ersbel Oraph I did not laugh once. The whole hour. Yet he is good. I would go as far as compare him to George Carlin. If he is that good before 30, maybe he will go far beyond what Carlin did two decades later. I don't know. I will have to see it. But now, he is good. The tempo is slower, but his public is less used to his kind of thoughts. And Jerrod is good.Probably people misunderstand him simply because of a racist bias. You probably know the statement "these people all look the same." He is not Eddie Murphy. He is not Chris Rock. And he does not even try to be Eddie or Chris.And surely he is hard to grasp because George Carlin and Lenny Bruce were products of the 1970s. And Jerrod is for 2010s. Lenny and George were very hard to get back in the day, only 50 years later, with a few books read about the "golden days of comedy" and living in a far different society, sure, they are so obvious. There is nothing offensive in their shows, only a few rednecks might feel offended.Is Jerrod better? I don't know. I would like to look back 50 years later and I am sure at that point things are going to be far more clear.I did not laugh once. I was shocked people laughed in the audience. But it's comedy, so laugh.Contact me with Questions, Comments or Suggestions ryitfork @ bitmail.ch

Lance I enjoyed a few bits with this show, but I think the show could be a lot smoother if Jerrod didn't stop and pause, and then restart with a different sentence, in the middle of his dialogue. For example, he would say "I just think that (pause for three seconds)... I just feel that.. it's hard... it's hard to think that.. you know.. I feel.. like I want to try." IMO - this is either a lack of material memorization or a lack of material that is prepared for an hour long segment. I think and hope that his stand-up will improve by eliminating these half sentence stutters. Other than a few issues with his public speaking, I enjoyed his stand-up.
