Watch Russell Peters: Almost Famous For Free

That was an excellent one.

Fresh and Exciting

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

The guy has some tired jokes, that draw a laugh, but otherwise he is plain unfunny. He attempts to engage the audience which is very hit and miss, some of it cringeworthy and embarrassing, for Russell himself. Its not like anyone would see this guy twice, i lasted 15 mins watching him and tired of him very quickly ,so im not sure an hour would be possible let alone half an hour It seems he just can't evolve, then again there are 7 billion people out there so he will always get fresh new suckers,ummm i mean audiences

There's no doubt in my mind that absolutely gets genuine laughs. Not laughs at his jokes, but laughs nonetheless. I am disgusted in myself for actually watching this trash, and even more disgusted that this hack has the freaking audacity to make statements about the ratings being sabotaged by the alt-right, and that they're not a reflection of the quality of the show.Man, you stink. There's no vendetta.

Working with the race topic wasn't the issue. The issue was his execution of the material and half a**ed stories with attention deficient follow-ups. Two spotlight materials were about a castle bed and differences in sleep..., other ones were not so engaging and strongly structured. He used to convince people even if what he says is laced with absurdity, this time around that isn't reflected and also what happened to his care-free observations and insights from cultural involvement (...maybe the peter joke). Range of topics is also an issue, it is time to evolve but this isn't attempted maybe its the love for laziness or LA might have changed him.

I will make this review short and sweet. Remember the genuine laughs you had when watching a Russel peters special for the first time? You won't have them again. If this will be your first Russel peters special then i confidently say go ahead with it as not many have explored his range/style in comedy. For the rest of you, his material fails to progress as opposed to great comedians (george Carlin, Jerry Seinfeld, bill hicks etc). His focus is mainly STILL race, even though he was able to come out with some new jokes yet they still seem expected or repetitive after a while. The shows' area of strength remains the part were he interacts with live audience, making of fun of them in a light fashioned way highlighting how natural of a comedian he is .Overall, the show was okay given the same source of material he always used but never worthy of mentioning in the same list of great specials.
