Good concept, poorly executed.
Best movie ever!
Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.
There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
He brought it back and slapped all these millennials in the face with it. Welcome back brother!
I am a big fan of Chappelle's older stuff, both his stand-ups and his show so needless to say I was very excited about this new stand up. Watching it was the saddest thing ever, the man completely lost his humor and seems to have just accumulated frustrations and issues, not funny just sad...
That is 57 minutes of my life I cannot get back. There was no humor and certainly no comedy. It was more desperation in his act. he rambled, tried to be more crude than funny, almost seemed lost at times and finally just gave up mentally. I kept hoping he would get better but never happened. If this was "unplugged"...please pull the cord. Just awful.
Because Chappelle is such a legendary, famous, and infamous person, it is very hard to stay purely objective and unbiased while watching anything he is doing. Especially for people who have seen his earlier work. Here is my attempt to cut through the hype, bs and expectations.Here are my observations:The first time I saw this, I was in a state of constant anticipation and analyzing every detail; it has been so long... is he going to bomb? Is this good? Was that a good joke or a bad joke? Has he gone crazy or is he normal now? Does the crowd like him? Do they think he is trying too hard? Should I like this or not? Is this politically correct or purposefully inflammatory? Whats gonna happen next?...The SECOND time I watched it however, I had a couple of glasses of wine, felt relaxed, and already knew its gonna be a good show. What I realized then is this: Here is a funny, empathetic, down to earth guy, telling funny stories. Not trying to convert the audience, just trying to explain whats going on in his head, in a very relaxed, funny and entertaining way. Judging by this show alone, the impression I got is that here is a guy that would be awesome just to hang out with. It doesn't really matter what he is saying either. He is just a funny dude.Try this. Turn off your critical brain for an hour and relax and have a good time.I will give this an 8, because I liked Chappelle's earlier special more, and I gave it a 9. So basically I too failed to stay objective.(PS: Show compatible with mind altering substances)
