Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

The 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.

7.3/10A lot of stand up doesn't get me laughs, but this did. Along the line of Patrice O'Niel, Greg Giraldo, Louie C.K, his comedy is a little darker. Chris does characters well and his story style of stand up has punch lines that hit. His style reminds me of Tom Segura and Dave Chappelle, although Giraldo is the only artist mentioned that this special was better than. If Chris puts out another special I would definitely watch it.

If you're into comedy and don't let "overuse of profanity" dictate your opinion on it, then I definitely think this is worth the watch. Chris doesn't hesitate to laugh at his own jokes by any means which does eventually seem excessive but again, if you're into standup then I don't think you'll be disappointed, particularly if you're down with cheesy jokes. Also unsure exactly how the other reviewer got the "fixation on sodomy" impression? What.

... comes an even less original, less entertaining, less funny "comedian." 65 minutes of Mr. D'Elia spinning his wheels in a hack'y, derivative-comedy ditch were a bit too much of a bad thing.I was hoovering on a solid 4 star rating for much of the show, however that last bit about the 4 year old girl was just too painful to watch... even 2 stars are too generous for that kind of dross. At 36 years old, Mr. D'Elia is well past the point where a talented comedian would have already developed a unique voice, a distinctive style... a personality! - an overuse of profanity and a fixation on sodomy do not a personality make.Recommended to no one. Avoid.
