I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Excellent but underrated film
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
After his previous shows 'Animals' and 'Politics' Ricky Gervais comes up with his third show 'Fame'. I've seen all three of them and to me Animals was the best followed by Fame and then Politics. But I liked all three of them, it's just my kind of humor. There are alot of good stand-up-comedians and I count Ricky Gervais in that list. Not only has he a good sense of sarcastic humor but he also has a great and unique way to bring it. Most of the time he's just playing two different characters having a conversation that leads to a joke, and he does that with his specific I-couldn't-care-less-face, whilst mumbling and mimicking at the perfect moment. Alot of his jokes are offensive, so you have to like that kind of humor, which I do, otherwise you won't have a great night watching his shows. I think you can laugh about anything because life is too short to take everything so serious, and Ricky gets that like no-one else.
The writer and star of The Office has really made a name for himself since, winning BAFTAs, a British Comedy Award, Emmys and a Golden Globe, and he has done well with stand-up comedy as well, Animals is very good, Politics is alright, and this was his third show. Ricky Gervais performs to an audience at the HMV Hammersmith Apollo in London, with a show based on the theme of fame. The majority of the jokes are based on this theme, of course he leaves room to delve into other subjects, including about Autistic people, Big Brother and his career. Gervais started his career playing versions of himself and characters that are perceived as annoying bastards, he does continue this persona on stage, and it works fantastically well, this is a reasonably funny show. Ricky Gervais was number 49 on The Comedians' Comedian, he was number 18 on Britain's Favourite Comedian, and he was number 11 on 100 Greatest Stand-Ups. Good!
STAR RATING: ***** Saturday Night **** Friday Night *** Friday Morning ** Sunday Night * Monday Morning As a performer, Ricky Gervais is a bit of an anomaly. Unbearably smug yet relentlessly self-depreciating, his act is a style of it's own and one which has carved his way to international super-stardom. He's starring in big films across the pond now, such as Stardust and Night at the Museum and from his demeanor on TV, success does seem to have gone to his head a bit. Yet his success will guarantee him an audience with shows such as Fame. But that's surely what his fans will be expecting, relentless humorous stabs at celeb related stories in the headlines and on the instantness of it nowadays? But like his previous Politics, Ricky unfortunately wonders off the subject a bit too much, letting his act wonder off into totally unrelated material which, though quite funny, wastes the potential of what could have been. It'll pass, especially for fans, but the big man might want to learn a bit about discipline if he doesn't want to risk alienating any lovers. ***
Animals was fantastic,politics was brilliant, but fame beats them my a mile,i love and adore Ricky gervais and everything he does but admit he is on of the biggest headed man on TV,so when i heard at this was called fame i thought it would be him talking about how famous and great he was.But i wasn't it was a funny look at fame and being famous not just all about him,and most of it wasn't really about being famous,but the bits what was where so funny.But for me the highlight of this show was his little pops at dawn french had me crying and spiting but drinking out with laughter.other parts off the show was Ricky talking about Charity gigs at the start off the show,and at the end telling a story about Sharon Osbourne on the x factor which i was in tears over.love him or hate him you MUST see this so really only one word sums this up......genius
