Movie Reviews of John Pinette: I'm Starvin'!
Movie Review: OMG - too awesome
Summary: 5 Stars
I had heard of John Pinette from my husbands friend, who had a cassette tape that he played in the car for us when we went to a party all together. John was awesome in that "buffet" tape - I loved it.
I decided to buy this CD as I saw the Comedy Central special one night but missed half of it... It was great as it made me laugh while my husband was away on business trip and I was home alone and feeling down.
I laughed and loved it but wanted to see the whole show.
I bought the CD and hubby and I watched it one night as our "date night" and we both had tears of laughter coming down from our eyes.
We had a blast watching John and you won't regret seeing this show as he is a master at making people laugh... He is wonderful and I'm soo happy with the choice of buying this from Amazon as I looked everywhere to find it ( I tried all the "other discount / dept stores ie: circuit city,best buy, even movie stores in mall) but none of them had John in there list of movies or soundtracks or comedians... such a shame in my opinion but then again - I feel John has the right idea pairing up with Amazon as you can rest assured that you get your order in a timely fashion and I've never had a problem ordering from Amazon..
THANKS JOHN for being with me on a lonely night by myself and also thanks for ALL THE LAUGHS you have given me and hubby and now my parents as I let my parent borrow the CD to watch and they also LOVED IT!
Keep up the awesome work John and THANK YOU!
Love from, Your Boston Fans
Movie Review: You won't be starvin' for laughs!
Summary: 5 Stars
John Pinette has provided hard laughter for my family repeatedly with this DVD. I have watched it approximately 8 times, and never fail to laugh at the same jokes again and again. I bought 3 copies; one for myself, one for my father, and one for my son. I sat and watched it with each member of my family at seperate times, and not one person who viewed it failed to laugh until the tears flowed. John Pinette touches something in each person; from crazy family members to waiting in lines to stores and their member cards. My daughter and I could be in the middle of a conversation, and one us suddenly starts up with one of his bits... and before you know it we're laughing all over again. Her friend eventually asked to watch it because she wanted to know what we were always laughing about. She laughed so hard she had to take a break so she could catch her breath.
I can't recommend this DVD strong enough. It was the best money I've spent on a DVD for a long time. I'm even ordering more for friends and family. I hope I get to watch them watching this... I love to watch people laugh until they cry!
Movie Review: I laughed out loud the first 3 times I watched this DVD!
Summary: 5 Stars
I had never heard of John Pinette. I don't usually watch the Comedy Channel on TV because I don't enjoy nasty language. One day, however, I was channel surfing and briefly stopped while John Pinette was doing his bit. I laughed so hard I couldn't breathe through his entire routine. I was hooked. I ordered this DVD as well as another DVD titled "I Say Nay Nay" and a CD titled "Show Me The Buffet". This DVD is the most recent he has cut and it is the absolute best. I never get tired of watching it. You like the guy from the moment he steps on stage. His facial expressions are priceless. His entire routine is a nonstop laughfest centered around his weight problems, his love of food - especially buffets - and how much he hates to wait in line at a buffet. This guy is unbelievably hilarious and still manages to keep it clean. This DVD is one of my prized possessions.Movie Review: Absolutely Hilarious!
Summary: 5 Stars
I was just surfing around the channels one night and found myself watching this guy on TV. From the first few minutes, I was rolling around in laughter. There was something vaguely familiar about him and it started to dawn on me that he was the same comedian from the early 90's who had the "YOU GO NOW! YOU HERE FOUR HOURS!" shtick.
When his routine ended I was sad and I wanted more, so I hopped onto Amazon and found that I just watched the "I'm Starvin!" sketch. I bought four copies so that I could have one and give others to friends. One thing I will say is that his comedy is self-deprecating. He really relies on his weight for most of the humor, but he puts in a way that anyone can relate. I mean come-on fitness trainers, do you really think we'll get addicted once we start working out? I'm with John on this one, "raviolis and a nap!"
Movie Review: Ha! " March of the penguins.."
Summary: 5 Stars
I loved it.
Yes, I know that most of this material is recycled from John's long career. That is why I bought it- kind of a 'best-of'. Actually, he didn't perform enough of the Chinese buffet bit for that qualification.
I saw him on ComedyCentral and had to have this. I've been peeing myself listening to old bits replayed on XM Radio, and saw the tv special / dvd.
Most of his work is not 'dirty', but after watching this with my in-laws, I realized he does swear a few times on the DVD.
I especially liked how he has freshened up some material with new references; he mentions his time 'in a dress' a few times, (he performed in Hairspray) - and compares his family to the "March of the Penguins" as they queue up for cruise ship dining.
I'd buy it again - especially at Amazon's price.
