Cleveronix A different way of telling a story
Hulkeasexo it is the rare 'crazy' movie that actually has something to say.
Skyler Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.
leonblackwood Review: This movie wasn't as funny as the Live on Broadway stand-up, but it's still funny. He uses the same concept as the Live on Broadway stand-up, but the jokes are more up to date, especially the ending which cracked me up. The older Robin Williams gets is the more toned down his act is but you can't beat his his unique writing and his amazing stage performance. Like his previous stand-up acts, he touches on political and sexual matters and he even talks about being an alcoholic and his time in rehab. Anyway, if you like me, and you've grown up watching Robin Williams movies, then his stand-up is definitely worth a watch. Enjoyable!Round-Up: The bonus material on the DVD is excellent because you get to see Robin Williams taking his act to different states and you see some of his older work which was excellent. Due to his sad passing, it's really sad to know that he won't be coming out with some new material because there really isn't anyone else like him. I recommend this movie to people who are into there stand-up comedies which cover everything from politics to sex. 6/10
tbagletsbeef I have a lot of respect for robin & I think he is a fantastic actor, both Comedy wise & in his more sombre roles. However, I found very little funny about this show. Maybe it's my Australian sense of humor or maybe I expected something more akin to Lee Mack or Dave Chappelle. Unfortunately it was neither...instead it was a nervous sounding robin doing impressions of Hasidic Jews, old southerners making stupid noises and then shooting off to some completely unrelated subject like heart surgery or Obama. After the first time struggling to sit it through it I thought...well maybe I didn't approach it with the right mindset. Maybe I was just not used to his style of comedy. So I watched it again and no..I stand by my original opinion. But hey comedy is like apples & oranges, just so happens i'm not a fan of citrus.
callanvass Weapons of Self Destruction is an event that cheered up a very gloomy day for me, with Robin's non stop crazy mind. The vulgarity of it all was amazing, and what was even more amazing is that it was all funny, and not many jokes fell flat at all. This guy never stops, he's always on the go, making us laugh until we literally wanna pee ourselves, and that is a gift of a Comedian that I really don't usually see. I have been a longtime Robin Williams fan, but he hasn't been up to par Like I expect recently, but this here righted all of that and more. I was lucky enough to be switching channels one day, and I came across it on my local Comedy channel, and thankfully I caught it right at the start. I was in a depressed mood, but boy did that change but quick.He goes from sex talk, to Viagra, to balls and anything he can think of!. I loved the James Stewat, Popeye and Christpher Wlaken impressions he did, I went into howls of laughter, he had them completely bang on!.Bottom line. This is really special stuff, I haven't seen anything like it in all my years of Comedy viewing. Please if you get a chance, even if you aren't his biggest fan check this out, I can almost guarantee it will make your day!.10/10
Nozz This comedy set is fine for people who laugh at any drug joke or penis joke, no matter how old or poorly constructed, but Robin Williams used to be so much better, more original and with a greater range of schtick. It's hard not to notice how often he punctuates a gag by announcing that it's "number one" of a series of observations. (Usually he does provide another but without numbering it.) His material about growing older rang true, and it was certainly fresher than a Jimmy Stewart imitation or a talking-vagina gag (both of which he does resort to), but I suppose that to focus on approaching the age of 60 would be to lose much of the audience-- at least the audience that we see photographed, who seem to be half Robin's age.
