Movie Reviews of Ellen DeGeneres - The Beginning
Movie Review: Hilarious
Summary: 5 Stars
This DVD is the funniest comedy specials I've ever seen. I bought it for my friend and watched it with her and laughed the entire time. (I've seen this comedy about 6 times before, and it's still funny!) She talks about the little voice in your head when you're trying to sleep, calling the shampoo hotline, etc. It's so much fun.
Summary of Ellen DeGeneres - The Beginning
This post-coming-out performance fully acknowledges Ellen DeGeneres's status as America's most famous lesbian, but it is nevertheless imbued with a sense of fun. For instance, rather than describe the experience of closet-exiting on her self-titled situation comedy in the late 1990s, she performs an amusing "interpretive dance." She uses her trademark goofiness to ruminate on the necessity of directions on shampoo bottles, ant road rage, and the possible nightmarish consequences of buying cheese. While the performance is not orientation-specific, the comedienne spends a fair amount of time on sex-related issues, including jokes about blow-up dolls and people who videotape their relations. She does venture into the political with an appeal for same-sex marriage and a monologue on meeting God, who turns out to be a middle-aged black woman. None of this fazes her clearly supportive audience at New York's Beacon Theatre who get to ask her questions at the end ? la Carol Burnett. The best moment of the 65-minute performance for HBO comes at the end, when DeGeneres accidentally exhibits some gender confusion with a young audience member, who then pays her moving tribute as a role model. --Kimberly HeinrichsComedy DVD Video
