Movie Reviews of Dane Cook's Tourgasm
Movie Review: Disappointing
Summary: 2 Stars
A good premise gets wasted with Dane Cook's Tourgasm, which promises to give a first person back stage view of the cross country comedy tour piloted by Dane Cook, Gary Gulman, Robert Kelly, and Jay Davis. Cook has since become huge in the comedy world, and is even branching out into movies, while Gulman will be familiar with those who frequently watch stand up specials on Comedy Central. Robert Kelly isn't very funny, and Jay Davis a newbie comedian who frequently gets made fun of by Kelly. There's a few interesting and funny moments here, including Davis bombing frequently and given advice from Cook, but these moments are few and very far between. Not to mention that for a series dealing with comedians, you'd expect maybe a few more snippets of the shows they play, and you get a few, but not as many as you might like. Not to mention there is a point in the show where Gulman departs, and no background information as to why is ever really given. Even if you are a die hard fan of Dane Cook, you'll have a hard time enjoying Tourgasm, especially if you're looking for frequently funny moments. All in all, this may be worth a look for said die hard fans, but proceed with caution.Movie Review: Succeeds where it doesn't really matter and fails where it shouldn't
Summary: 2 Stars
As a reality show staring four young comics traveling across the country, each with distinct personalities, styles and levels of experience this show (I guess you'd call it) is amusing. The interactions between the four are sometimes insightful, sometimes annoying, and often entertaining if not particularily hilarious. As a reality show it's ok and worth watching maybe once. But you know what would have made this show great? If it was funny. The standup routines including Dane Cook's might make you smile once or twice but there's little in the way of side splitting hilarity to be found. In fact there isn't any. No full set is provided either, rather just edited bits and pieces, dribs and drabs. For a reality show it's not bad, for a comedy dvd it's covered in flop sweat.Movie Review: The show gets 1 star, bonus features *probably* earn 1 more
Summary: 2 Stars
I loved the premise, but boy was the show a let down. A four comic team is a real drag when 3 of the 4 comedians aren't that funny. Even this could have been countered by giving Dane a bit more face time than the rest (and with material that most fans hadn't already heard many times)...but of course that didn't happen. The bus footage wasn't very insightful or interesting. Neither were the obligatory reality show excursions that they took.
I haven't seen the DVD yet (it's still on pre-order). Hopefully the bonus footage captures some of what the show itself missed. If not, count this as a 1 star review.
Movie Review: B-O-R-I-N-G!!

Got this DVD set as a delayed Xmas present. I was under the impression, from the case, that this was going to be a lot of stand up performances of Dane and the others. All it is is a series about them going on tour. There is nothing interesting about it. Nothing rewarding about it. I love Dane's jokes and all, but you only see about one joke from each comedian per episode. And the jokes that Dane tells are the one's from Retaliation. I wouldnt recommend this. I gave this 2 stars because it comes in a metal case.Movie Review: More Reality Show Stupidity Than Comedy
Summary: 2 Stars
I am a huge Dane Cook fan, but he's been disappointing me lately. My biggest complaint about this DVD is that it does not include a clip of the full stand-up act. It's mostly about their 'adventures' on tour, providing only sample bits from the show. And the bits are FUNNY! I want more stand-up comedy, less reality show.
