Movie Reviews of Bill Cosby, Himself
Movie Review: Funniest Live Comedy Concert Ever Taped
Summary: 5 Stars
I know there are those who won't agree with me about the "funniest ever" label because of the Richard Pryor and Eddie Murphy concerts caught live, but go back and watch this and you'll find yourself laughing to tears every time. Cosby is able to make us laugh and make us think at the same time, which is a rarity these days. For those with children you will definitely see yourself here. He takes everyday things like going to the dentist (normally not very funny) and makes them hilarious. Puking your guts up when drunk isn't something I would put on my list of all time funny things to do, but Bill puts you there and makes it real, and it becomes funny. The best thing about Cosby is he doesn't have to use needless profanity just to fill time like others who aren't talented enough to do so. If you don't believe me, buy this and see for yourself. You won't be sorry you chose this, destined to be a classic.
Summary of Bill Cosby, Himself
One of America's most popular comedians, Bill Cosby treats his fans to a funny, satirical and heart-warming concert at Toronto's Hamilton Place Performing Arts Center. His material ranges from marriage and the unending trials of parenthood, to the side-splitting antics of the very young, and a hilarious encounter with a dentist's drill and needle. Insightful and witty, this highly entertaining film is a rare cinematic treat, filled with all the spontaneity and electricity that only a live performance can provide.After I Spy and before The Cosby Show, Bill Cosby left his own inimitable mark on the arena of stand-up comedy in this live concert showcasing his down-to-earth observations on the rigors and joys of family life. Cosby, using only a microphone and a chair, discusses his take on raising kids and the illogical nature of children and the futility of trying to argue with a child that in the end may be smarter than you. Notable highlights include Cosby's ruminations on the meaning of the all-purpose phrase "I don't know" to kids, and Cosby describing the effect raising children has on his wife Camille's mental state and the pitch of her voice. Containing the basis for the humor of his long-running situation comedy, Bill Cosby: Himself is a polished, occasionally insightful, and frequently hilarious night of comedy from one of the longtime masters of the form. --Robert Lane
