Movie Reviews of Dave Chappelle: Killin' Them Softly
Movie Review: DAVE CHAPPELLE's greatest stand up performance DVD available!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is Dave Chappelle in his finest hour! This has to be one of the best stand up comedy performances I have EVER seen from a man who I consider a pure a comedic genius.
Ever since Half Baked I've been a fan so when I saw this in the new release section back in 2003 I decided to buy it. I hadn't seen him perform live so I had no clue really if I'd like it. Like is not the word I'd use to describe how I feel about this DVD! I knew immediately he was going to be BIG! I wasn't wrong!
The man is HILARIOUS from beginning to end. Not since Eddie Murphy's Delirious have I laughed so hard. This is before Chappelle Show, when he was just Dave. He goes through a variety of subjects, some of them the usual topics comedians use like race & relationships but he delivers it with this amazing amount of thought and intelligence behind it and in a way that is so fearless. You know its his own genuine thoughts and he's just being who he is, which don't see often these days. I have seen this DVD dozens of times and it never gets old. It's still relevant 6 years later and just as funny as the first time I saw it. I do have his other stand up DVD and I have to say its good but but it can't touch Killin' Em Softly. You will LOVE this DVD! It's a CLASSIC!
Summary of Dave Chappelle: Killin' Them Softly
DAVE CHAPPELLE is a successful comedian, screenwriter, and actor. CHAPPELLE'S laid-back yet socially attuned style of comedy has made him a favorite among all ages and races. As an actor he's appeared alongside some of Hollywood's biggest names in films such as THE NUTTY PROFESSOR, CON AIR, YOU'VE GOT MAIL, UNDERCOVER BROTHER and BLUE STREAK. CHAPPELLE also co-wrote and starred in the sidesplitting prison caper HALF BAKED. Now laugh out loud as you spend 60 hilarious minutes with DAVE CHAPPELLE as he sounds off on everyone within earshot. Originally aired on HBO in 2000, "Killin? Them Softly" is without a doubt one of the funniest standup specials available. You?ll never laugh more than you will here. Dave spares no victim as he addresses issues about the Police, Racism, Sesame Street, Kids, and the Government. It?s hilarious! Comedy doesn't get any better than this! Welcome DAVE CHAPELLE?S "Killin? Them Softly" to the prestigious PLATINUM COMEDY SERIES. Bringing you the funniest comedians in America!Killin' Them Softly is easily one of HBO's best comedy specials, catching star Dave Chappelle at a career high in 2000 and with an abundance of hysterical, highly polished material. Taking his time, stretching concepts and bits like a master, Chappelle plunges into a wealth of anecdotes and observations about the influx of white people into Washington, D.C. (where this show was recorded) since the 1980s. ("Who are the scariest people? White guys in black gangs. No telling what they did to get respect.") There are fantastic tales of racing cops with Chappelle's white friend, Chip, and a great story about being left alone in a limousine outside a busy crack house. Other good stuff: introducing a kid to a PePe Le Pew cartoon and realizing too late the skunk is a sex criminal, and why we should know our 911 calls will end up played on television. --Tom Keogh
