Excellent but underrated film
Boring
There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
I recently saw Dana Carvey on Seinfeld's car-and-coffee-themed talk show, and he was hilarious. I loved Carvey growing up so I decided to see what he'd done since. I found his 2008 standup act (the one with "Monkeys" in the title) and it blew me away. The level of intensity in that special is superhuman.Having caught up a bit, I decided to watch Straight White Male, 60. In this special he comes across with the energy you might expect from a normal adult, which is fine. I thought this routine was solid and his impersonations spot on.I'm neither here nor there when it comes to politics, and I'm a couple decades younger than Carvey, but his material was so well done that I was laughing with him from his point of view. That said, it's hard to understand why 20 percent of voters so far have given this special a "1."I don't know if it was Trump fans who were triggered by his (very well done) Trump impersonation, or if Millennials were triggered by the couple jabs he took at their generation- but either way, it was all light hearted- and more importantly, funny. If you can't laugh at yourself a little bit then standup might not be your thing. I don't know. But this special is definitely worth watching if you're a Dana Carvey fan, or just getting acquainted.
I must say I'm surprised by the negativity of the other reviews here. I found this to be a delight. When he started on trump I did think, Oh no this is going to be rubbish, but his take is just delightfully silly. Literally the only funny trump bit I've ever heard.I've watched it several times. It's that good. Possibly my favourite comedy special ever.
There was a time when I thought Dana Carvey was pretty funny but you couldn't prove it by this stand-up special. He had his moments but the idiosyncratic gestures and repetitious nature of his bits failed to impress for someone who's been on the scene for as long as he has been. At least when he skewered political figures it was fairly even handed, bashing Trump, the Clintons, Bush and Obama with equal abandon. However he did unmask his conservative bent by equating capitalism with the Apple Store, and Socialism as the DMV; that was a pretty apt comparison. And I suppose it comes with one's own demographics, but his taking it to Millennials as a helpless generation found some resonance with this viewer, but it just wasn't that funny. So if I were to advise on a recommendation for a future gig, I'd have to say give it a rest - it just wouldn't be prudent.
This was the worst stand-up comedy i have ever seen.I don't even know man who talk like he does, just gross.The first seven minutes where so awful, i thought about stop watching it but i wanted stay open minded and give his a fair chance since it's the first time i've seen a special from his.
