Movie Reviews of Bill Cosby, Himself
Movie Review: A True Classic
Summary: 5 Stars
My god. I swear that I'm amazed that so many other people who were kids back in the '80s memorized "The Dentist" routine. I had that one down PAT back in the summer of '84. This is probably my all-time favorite Bill Cosby stand-up/sit-down act.
I still laugh out loud like I did when I was ten years old, but NOW I laugh for completely different reasons. After several years spent working with other people's kids and having kids of my OWN, I have a whole NEW appreciation for his routines on parenting (brain damage, "I don't know", and forth).
When my wife and I were on the way to the hospital for the birth of our first child, I was preparing myself for all-out war because all I could think of was his "Natural Childbirth" routine from this concert. I had to make sure I protected my bottom lip at all costs. With regard to kids, I'm starting to think I have a "Little Jeffrey" in the making.
Simply put...this is the Cos at his FINEST.
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.Movie Review: you'll wonder where he was hiding to overhear your parents!
Summary: 5 Stars
If you've read any of the reviews, I won't reiterate the details. I just recently happened to catch this on a rerun on an 'oldies' cable channel. I watched to whole thing just as I did in 1983 many times--waiting for my favorite parts and lines; still laughing and wondering where he had been hiding in my parent's house when I was being raised! It is funny because it is all true (as all good comedy). After it ended, I ran up to tell my husband about it (he had loved it in the '80's also). I said I thought, if it was available, on DVD I'd get a copy for each of our now grown (with kids of their own) children for NEXT holiday gift giving. They couldn't have appreciated it in 1983. Just the other day I said to one of my Grandsons: "YOU don't want ME to have to come up there, DO YOU?"--Aahh, the classic lines never die--they just get passed on generation to generationMovie Review: Priceless!
Summary: 5 Stars
Bill Cosby is wonderfully funny. His humor is timeless, and this show is a sparkling example of a brilliant stand-up comedian at work. I've watched this on tape MANY times over the years, and, like wine, it just gets better with age -- I've realized that the more life experiences I gain, the more I laugh when I see "Himself". I loved the performance when I was in my 20s,and 30s, and now my 40s. My husband I have commented that while all the routines have always been very funny, they take on an entirely new dimension for us now that we're parents (literally making us laugh until we cry in parts). Mr. Bill Cosby is a comic genius and a national treasure. Here's hoping the studio will put this out on DVD soon!! If you haven't seen this show, or haven't watched it in a while, by all means treat yourself and WATCH IT! Bill Cosby "Himself" will make your day.Movie Review: Thank god for Bill Cosby and his stand-up!
Summary: 5 Stars
Bill Cosby is truly a gifted and talented comedian, This stand-up pretty much vindicates all that has been ever said in description about his capabilities and showcases his inredible talent for storytelling. It comes in an era, when so much of life's negative are told by stand-ups with a seething vehemence to their act interms of cussing, their choice of topics. The arguements normally put forth by these people, is that, "They keep it real and don't sugar coat it"... i would say, Bill is the one who keeps it real. This is an amazing and clean stand-up, not only that, he also is respected by the audience and brings them in well.
I had purchased this as a gift for my Brother, and it is a stand-up show which everyone must come to possess. Very Very funny stuff here.
Its a keeper in my collection as well. Recommend to buy.
