Movie Reviews of Sinbad - Afros & Bellbottoms
Movie Review: Our Family's Favorite Funnyman in a Supreme Performance!
Summary: 5 Stars
Sinbad remains our Family's Favorite Funnyman. We howled at the HBO special he did in Atlanta. Howled just as much with this one. We watched it 2 days in a row. What a master at taking regular life experiences and transforming them into comedy that gives you permission to laugh at yourself and so much of what is funny in the world around. I so appreciate Sinbad's ability to be hilarious without resorting to vulgarity. When a father can watch a video with wife and teenage kids and they can still be talking about the video days, weeks, later...and reciting punch lines verbatim..., when 2 distinct generations can laugh to tears at the same material, when there is nothing off color, abusive, immoral, but clean, appealing and side splitting funny...well that's what I call ENTERTAINMENT!
This DVD should be in your library.
Movie Review: HILARIOUS
Summary: 5 Stars
I rented this one sometime ago to "introduce" his comedy routine to my teenage kids (I had seen this one before along with one HBO special he did in Denver -- oh my goodness that was a hoot too -- unfortunately, I can't find it though!!). At first, they didn't think they'd enjoy it. After the first 10 mins., my kids were rolling on the floor. Even though they're not 70s kids, they found Sinbad's wild recitations and expressions hilarious. We've seen our copy over and over again -- it never gets old!! All my 15-year-old son has to do to get me to laugh is to do Sinbad's impression of the stair-master ... I won't give it away, but it gets us going every time!! His comedy is good, clean fun!! Too much violence and curse words in our kids' lives everywhere they turn. We need more Sinbad in this world!!Movie Review: Amazing Stand-up.... and he does not even cuss once!!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I found it very difficult, if not impossible for me to grasp conceptually, that a stand-up comedian could be laugh out riot funny without being profane and lascivious.
Ok, there are a few exceptions, but this is more street funny, at the same time being clean. It showcases the true talent of Sinbad here, in that most stand-ups utilize profanity as a silly crutch for their acts to gain favor with the audience, but this man and his act is so different. It represents a mature comedy routine, and not like the way, Pryor, Murphy, the kings or Carlin would or for that matter could do.
This DVD is in my collection and is a great "picker upper", when i have one of those days.
Please do check it out if not already done so.
Movie Review: Good, Clean, and Funny
Summary: 5 Stars
I used to own this on video, and was hoping and praying this would come out on DVD. I simply love watching his performance to this day. I was actually there when they taped this performance. His is a performance you can watch with your children, and not worry about bad language.
You will watch this, and laugh so hard you will have tears of happiness running down your face. When he talks about dieting, and how the week worth of food was not enough, to working out on the stair master, it's all funny, and maybe for some people something you can relate to. By the end you will be so busy laughing, you will be gasping for breath, and holding your stomach. A must have in your DVD collection for sure.
Movie Review: You WILL fall out of your chair.
Summary: 5 Stars
My wife and I first saw 'Afros and Bellbottoms' a few years ago and we laughed so hard we could hardly breathe. If you are smart enough to purchase this DVD, do keep something soft by your chair, because you will most certainly fall onto the floor.
Sinbad's stories of his childhood in the 70's and 80's will especially entertain those who also grew up in those years, but his style of comedy will ultimately entertain everyone who watches. I particularly love how he is able to make fun of himself while making fun of others. Absolutely everyone should purchase this DVD and noone will be disappointed. This DVD will come to be one that you quote on a daily basis just as my wife and I do.
