Movie Reviews of Eddie Izzard - Glorious
Movie Review: Izzard is indeed Glorious
Summary: 5 Stars
I first saw Eddie Izzard while watching HBO one Saturday night. The concert was entitled "Dressed to Kill". I had never heard of Eddie before, and by the time it was over, I was wondering what rock I had been dwelling under to have never seen this brilliant comic.
"Glorious", while not quite as even as "Dressed", still left me in tears. The show begins with a Eddie's take on the book of Genesis, then travels on towards the Trojan horse ("Bye! Well done! Here's a horse for you..per usual..Bye!"), takes a hard left into the British Monarchy, shower water temperature and baboons in mime, before ending up in the book of Revelations. And, as a previous reviewer noted, the encore is probably the funniest 8 minutes of comedy I have seen in a long while.
I ordered this DVD last year, actually, way before they had an expected release date and was thrilled to receive it yesterday. I have the video, but the extras on the DVD make it well worth the purchase. Eddie's audio commentary on the show that he himself hasn't seen for seven years is priceless, "now, um...what AM I doing there? Oh yes... this is when I started saying Jam a heck of a lot". The "Lust For Glorious" intro is also featured, poking fun at the big summer blockbuster movie previews, and featuring Eddie in some very funny and very sexy situations. Another interesting feature is the english 'bleeped' audio track, which works very well when trying to share Eddie with one's Grandmother. (I know this from personal experience). Finally, there is a written triva commentary you can choose that displays below the subtitles. You can't say the man isn't giving his all! :)
Overall, I'd say Dress to Kill is the best and Glorious places a very close second in Eddie's stand-up comedy concert series. Both are must haves. You'll find yourself saying "so...yeah", "I'm covered in bees" and throwing the word "jam" into sentences when you can't find the right word, but those are small prices to pay for the sheer joy and laughter you'll get from Eddie's DVD. Enjoy!
