Movie Reviews of Demetri Martin. Person.
Movie Review: O so FuNny
Summary: 4 Stars
A great comic genies (in his own little way)
A insights of the human interaction with others,
all want to say but never do, and things we think about but never talk about .
Movie Review: Intriguing
Summary: 3 Stars
Martin is something different for those who like off-beat standup comedy. Don't expect a lot of belly laughs, but instead a more subdued, goofy comedy that appeals to quirky and intelligent types. The artwork sketches, done by Martin himself, are the strongest elements.
If you like guys like Jim Carrey, Martin Lawrence or Carlos Mencia...forget this and look for something else. You won't "get" it.
Movie Review: funny, different just like before, but now what?
Summary: 3 Stars
I always liked Demetri Martin; I thought he's funny, different, and smart. Watching this show though didn't add much. Yes, I laughed the first 10 min, he was as funny as always, but then it was the point of "now what?"
The Jokes became predictable, and his sketches weren't as smart as before.
I hope he still has more to give and this is only a temporary pause.
Movie Review: One Trick Pony
Summary: 2 Stars
A let down, a disappointment, a failure.
If you've had a taste of Demetri's work on the Daily Show and want more, then you'll probably enjoy this, though not as much as you might expect. Demetri's Trendspotting on the Daily Show hinted at absurdist comedic genius. His 'These are Jokes' CD went a ways to confiming this view for me - but this DVD is a regression. The principle downfall is that so many of the jokes are repeated from the CD. The repetition suggests either a shallow talent or a cynical attempt to leach more $$$ from unwary admirers (it worked!).
The extras are weak and the show is remarkably short and stuffed with filler - strange animated ruminations on mythical mythical creatures.
Buy 'These are Jokes' instead, its a superior, less contrived offering that covers more material for less $$$.
Movie Review: Disappointed!
Summary: 2 Stars
I own Demetri Martin's CD and thought that this special would be just as good. I don't think it was even close. Even though some of the jokes are the same, they weren't delivered in a way that I thought was amusing. Many jokes weren't funny, at least this time around. I think this special was definitely geared toward a more college crowd. I believe Demetri Martin can be funnier than this!
