Movie Reviews of Demetri Martin. Person.
Movie Review: "Hot Potato Is A Very Different Game When The People Playing Are Starving..."
Summary: 5 Stars
"Person" by Demetri Martin is a brilliant, intelligent, and very low-key stand up routine captured in a cable special, and now available on DVD. The DVD is short (around 40 minutes), but filled with gems. My only serious complaint about the DVD is that there are several previews at the beginning of the disc that you can't skip. Since I paid for the DVD, I resent having to watch ads for stuff I would never in a million years be interested in buying. Once the show starts, though, all is well.
Martin is known for using a guitar extensively during his monologues; here he also adds piano and bells to his act, and all help to produce a seamless and very funny show. The material is all over the map, from observations about linguistics and personal injury ("The easiest time to add insult to injury is when you're signing somebody's cast."), to a video game, "Super Busy Hospital", where you have to take care of the victims shot in all the other video games, and, of course, many uncategorizable bits ("If I ever saw an amputee being hanged, I would just shout out letters.")
There are a couple of short animated links that Martin made which tie segments of the special together. I was especially fond of the inquiry into the deeper life of porcupines, and also enjoyed Professor Irwin Glands discussing less common mythical creatures such as the amoebicorn and the paradoxotaur.
The DVD has many bonus features that more than make up for the short special running time. I liked that Martin did a commentary track with his mom and grandmother: he comes across as a very well-grounded, smart, and funny guy. I especially appreciated that the material here is not lowbrow or dependent on scatological references. If you enjoy intelligent and thought-provoking humor, I highly recommend "Person" by Demetri Martin: watch it and discover why glitter is the herpes of craft supplies.
Movie Review: Buy it - You'll be happy you did
Summary: 5 Stars
Demetri Martin could be the funniest person ever to exist. Literally. I have shared this DVD with several of my friends, and he quickly became their favorite, as well.
His humor is genius, as is he. You will laugh throughout this entire DVD, including the extra footage. The best part about his comedy is that so much of it is commentary on everyday objects and occurrences. This means that long after you've watched the DVD, you'll find yourself replaying his jokes in your mind as you witness the truth behind his observational humor manifested before your very eyes. I mean, who hasn't had the experience of being betrayed by their drinking straw? Don't think this describes you? Watch and learn. It does.
Movie Review: My ability to draw trees over time
Summary: 5 Stars
I saw Demetri Martin on a comedy central stand-up and my husband and I thought he was hilarious so we bought his DVD. We are so glad we did because this dvd was worth every cent!!!
Martin is absolutely hilarious! He is one of those rare artists who do not use profanity and sexuality for a laugh. Instead is comedy is based on pointing out the obvious but making it funny! He uses charts and graphs that he drew himself, a piano and harmonica, and a guitar. The "finale" has people acting out what he is saying in the background. An absolute riot!!!
DEF worth the purchase. Loved it!
Movie Review: Demetri Martin. Hilarious Person.
Summary: 5 Stars
This comedy is blunt but also unassuming. Martin gives observations without waiting for the audience to find it funny or relate, he just tells it as he experiences it. Also, his jokes are so accessible to relate to, such as the limit of how long you'll listen to a girl talk about her cat, in relation to how attractive she is. How many times have people tried to talk to you about their cat, or YOU have tried to share pet cat stories, and no one cares either way.
Buy this and laugh and laugh.
Movie Review: Hysterical!
Summary: 5 Stars
Demetri Martin is an extremely funny young comic who doesn't need the rants, raves, and fast-paced nonsense that other comics use in their acts. Demetri creates big laughs from a look or short quip. His comedy enlists the audience member to think, not just react to some wild provocation. He fills the niche of subtle humor not tapped enough in this fast=paced world. He is fantastic.
