Why so much hype?
Don't listen to the negative reviews
The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.
Once again, George Carlin skewers the irritation and hypocrisy in our society. My favorite part was his rant about the FCC (and this was before Janet Jackson's nipple on the Superbowl). I will say that "George Carlin: What Am I Doing in New Jersey?" isn't his best work; I just saw "You Are All Diseased" a few weeks ago and liked it better. But any of his work is still great. As long as there are f---ed up characteristics of our society - especially anything about politics - he'll always have something to talk about.Anyway, this is just more proof of what a great comedian he is. As far as I'm concerned, all of his seven dirty words belong everywhere.
George Carlin starts to show signs of political humor here in this special shot in New Jersey's Union theater. I liked it because of that and his bits. Here, he brings politics into view with Ronald Reagan and his criminal gang, things to keep people alert with, people I can do without, and Cars and driving pt. 2 (continued from Carlin on Campus). I really enjoyed his bit on Cars and driving being a New Jerseyan and that here, he starts to show signs of anger brewing from his past (usually, Carlin just does bits on things we don't notice and stuff). Funny stuff, but not quite fully dandy. A+
