It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Russell Howard definitely has spark edge and twist. And he is a comedian that feels very naturally home on the stage.This show was rather diverse, because he gets around to a lot of different topics, ranging from personal loss, to easy pickings such as Trump.Russell Howard has good material which invokes some good and genuine laughs because the material is sharp, and his delivery is spot on.I was genuinely entertained by this show, and I am glad that I did decide to sit down and watch it after happening to stumble upon it on Netflix by sheer luck. "Russell Howard: Recalibrate" is definitely worth checking out if you enjoy stand-up comedy.

First of all, I laughed so hard I had to pause the show several times just to catch my breath. Secondly, I just want to say that this was an extremely well put together show with a strong common thread througout the whole thing, a lot of important messages and beautiful personal, relatable stories. With a hint of madness I think we can all recognize in ourselves, he also shows empathy, understanding and intelligence by pointing out both what is wrong in this world and what we need to appreciate. To do this without being too dark, but rather leaving the audience with a sence of optimism and cheerfullness, is brilliant.

Russel Howard is one of the comedians that genuienly make me laugh. not because I am very dull or I hate comedy, I guess it´s just because I have a very specific kind of humor that makes me laugh. anyway, now about the stand up: it is like his old stand ups, it´s very funny if you ask me, but you can´t find it funny if you didn´t like his previous stand ups, but the difference with this one it also gives Russel Howard hour and his old show good news´ vibes, I guess because he talks more about some current issues, but he has a very optimistic approach on this kind of issues so after watching the stand up I didn´t feel like "uh this world is going downhill" , so it´s not a George Carlin stand up, you can relax and watch it.

Russell is one of my favorite stand up comics today and I enjoyed this stand up special even tho it felt like a summary of The Russell Howard hour... which mean not much new material if you've watched that show and Russell Howard Good news in the past.So, if you don't watch any of those shows then I guess you're in for a treat :)It's mostly personal, it's a little bit political and it's funny !
