Robin Williams: Weapons of Self Destruction (2009)

Save your money for something good and enjoyable

Memorable, crazy movie

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

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

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.

I had seen some clips of Robin Williams doing live stand-up comedy, and then I saw a whole act on We Are Most Amused, and I was very keen to see a whole show. So then I noticed this on the TV, and I was very hopeful that I would find his material funny, knowing also that he is a very speedy improviser. As it turned out, it was very funny, I might have lost track a few times with his speed of delivery, but for the jokes I did manage to understand, it was a most worthwhile show. It was also interesting to learn a few things about and from him, e.g. that he was an alcoholic (I knew he took drugs), making him ma very appealing guy as well. Robin Williams was number 44 on 100 Greatest Stand-Ups. Very good!

Robin Williams is a talented comedian. He has a supporting Oscar under his belt plus several Oscar nominations for best actor. We all know that he can be quite funny.All these nice things being said, I was disgusted watching this television special due to all the vulgarities that come out of the mouth of Williams. He couldn't go three words without the use of the f-word. While I realize that this is HBO, have a little dignity please.In addition, Williams could get anyone dizzy by his constant movement up and down the stage.He touches on several topics including Sarah Palin. The use of constant profanity ruins the material.
