I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

Blistering performances.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

I am not overly familiar with the work of Chris D'Elia. I think I've seen him once on TV in some stand-up show, although I don't recall the title or anything from it. I happened to find the "Man on Fire" stand-up comedy show on Netflix and decided to sit down and watch it.There certainly was lots of good laughs to be had here in this stand-up comedy show. Chris D'Elia's jokes are quite hilarious and brilliant, and he delivers them with force.Chris D'Elia is very animated and full of energy.I must admit that I was more than entertained at the end of this stand-up comedy show, and I will say that Chris D'Elia certainly is a funny man.So if you like stand-up comedy shows and have nothing to see, then I can recommend that you take the time to sit down and watch "Man on Fire", because it is quite entertaining.

The first review... I have no idea what the person is talking about. If you are okay with profanity (which 90% of every internationally touring comedian use), you will enjoy his humor. From hilarious make-shift voices to talking about his real life stories - he's full of superb humor. I am 31 years old and found this special to be great! If you're of the 'old school' mindset or are easily offended by most things comics talk about, then yes, you won't like it. Then again, if you're that type of person you don't belong watching comedy and probably have an extremely lame personality. Best of luck to him in his future! The man has TALENT.

If you're into comedy and don't let "overuse of profanity" dictate your opinion on it, then I definitely think this is worth the watch. Chris doesn't hesitate to laugh at his own jokes by any means which does eventually seem excessive but again, if you're into standup then I don't think you'll be disappointed, particularly if you're down with cheesy jokes. Also unsure exactly how the other reviewer got the "fixation on sodomy" impression? What.

... comes an even less original, less entertaining, less funny "comedian." 65 minutes of Mr. D'Elia spinning his wheels in a hack'y, derivative-comedy ditch were a bit too much of a bad thing.I was hoovering on a solid 4 star rating for much of the show, however that last bit about the 4 year old girl was just too painful to watch... even 2 stars are too generous for that kind of dross. At 36 years old, Mr. D'Elia is well past the point where a talented comedian would have already developed a unique voice, a distinctive style... a personality! - an overuse of profanity and a fixation on sodomy do not a personality make.Recommended to no one. Avoid.
