Eddie Griffin: DysFunktional Family Audience Reviews

Hottoceame The Age of Commercialism
Stellead Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful
MoPoshy Absolutely brilliant
Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
JoySLeigh I enjoy watching stand-up comedians, and have seen many, many, many talented comedians. Since "laughter is the best medicine", this specific show by Eddie Griffin is as good as adding 20+ years to your life. I have never laughed so hard, and was in actual pain (stitches in my sides), tears streaming, throat sore, carpet abused from my rolling repeatedly on it. Hahaha! OK, now...just a warning, for those who do NOT like vulgar language: I don't think there are even 10 sentences that didn't have the F-word, etc. However, as I don't normally care for vulgar language, in this case, it was his genuine, sincere and appropriate use of it that lifted the show from very funny to totally hysterical! Eddie Griffen, in Dysfunktional Family, hits the nail on the head about the pains so many of us experienced growing up in the 70's and 80's, and beyond, and makes you suddenly feel so FREE and LIGHT, as you laugh away, easily relating, to his exceptionally talented tales of his own personal, humble upbringing. Hope you try it, and enjoy it as much as I did.
Johnny B I'm writing this article after seeing the "DysFUNKtional Family" for the 15th time, and I must say that I still laugh uncontrollably when I hear what Eddie Griffin's mind "bakes". I've seen a quite a few stand-up comedian shows at my age, but I must say... Eddie Griffin "tickles the f!@$ outta me" to use his own words. The movie is a small summary of his tragic life... growing up without a father, being raised by his mother and uncle Bucky. All of this would be true, if HE weren't the one making fun of it all, seeing things from an impersonal point of view... He pretty much talks about everything there is to talk about... 9-11 and the "Osama MFers", about sex, church, drugs, mother's unorthodox methods of raising him/spanking him... the thing is, the movie gets so hilarious at some point, I was beginning to wonder about how will I stop laughing after hearing so many jokes in such a short time... I sincerely recommend the movie to any person that understands English and the subtleties of the English language... I voted a 10 for the movie... amongst my favorites! "Think! It Ain't Illegal Yet!"
daviddpg14 This movie was awesome, had me side bustin i was laughing so hard at some of eddies jokes. Man has some interested and funny concepts on a lot of the more modern subjects of what is going on in the world today. As he talks about 9/11, PU**Y, DRUGS and about his family life throughout the film. His family is quite crazy, and they get pretty involved with the family and get a little deep into his family life. Editing looked like maybe eddie let one of his homies from the hood handle, but its not that bad. Just looks like some1 was trying too much new stuff and should of just kept it a little more basic and straight up. I mean its a comic stand up, don't wanna over do it with the editing like Real Cancun did... Great Movie though, 9/10 very very funny man.
moviecollectible Eddie Griffin's masterpiece standup comendy routine has been perfected! This inside look at his growing up in Kansas City is amazing! His "perverted" uncle who tapes the women he has sex with to his other uncle crack smoking talk is priceless. Eddie has come a long way from his early days of comedy and his days on "Malcolm & Eddie". When you watch this you realize that as a storyteller, he's as good if not better than the Grandfather of Comedy concert films, Richard Pryor. Eddie is out of that same mold. This film will surprise a lot of people with it's honesty and openess. Eddie is so much more than the "Undercover Brother", he's a worthwhile superstar!! He's growing up, learning the meaning of life and sharing it with us to laugh at and enjoy. I saw a rough screening several months ago at a small theatre in the LA area without the soundtrack. I have heard that rapper/trouble again'd Sug Knight did the soundtrack! This should be the concert film event of the year, don't miss it! If there was a higher rating than a "10", I would say it's a 12 !!!!
