Wonderful character development!

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Eddie Griffen is clearly one of the funniest comedians around and this innovatively well put together DVD is a welcome and hilarious break from the norm.Griffen's no nonsense sense of humour is brilliant and along with the way Gallo (the director) ties all of eddie's routine into pieces of footage taken of his family, discussing the events he's describing in the routine, is really fresh! I totally loved and was disappointed to see a 1/10 review. If you don't find this DVD funny and quirky then you need to get rid of the pocket protector Poindexter!! This isn't for the faint of heart- it's for everyone with a pulse and a personality-it's a offensive in part but it's REALLY funny!

Since Eddie Griffin showed his face in the world of entertainment,I didn't care for his comic routines. In the past he was simple and wasn't funny at all. But after watching this movie (DysFunktional Family) I have a different perspective of him as a comic. He hit on every issue dealing with the middle-class black community such as parenting,religion,sports,drunks,drugs,and relatives. I have to admit this movie had me in tears quite a few times. I agree with the commentary by Derrick Dunn this is somewhat of an urban stand up and you have to live through it in order to understand it. If not of course it won't be funny. A recommended movie for family and friends.

Having watched all the Richard Pryor concerts, Eddie Murphy, Martin Lawrence, Chris Rock, Red Foxx and many many other R Rated comedians I have to say this movie was a bit of a let down. There are some funny routines but the whole thing just leaves you feeling a bit flat. Griffin makes extensive use of the N Word that hasn't been heard since early Richard Pryor routines. In fact one problem I had is that it seems like Eddie was trying to be too much like Richard and not enough like himself. The references to his family were ho-hum especially the dry routine about his grandfather and porn watching uncle. Sounds a bit like watered down Pryor. Like I said there are some funny spots, but for every funny moment you have to sit through escapades of so so moments that make you smirk instead of crack up. Wait till this one comes on HBO instead of shelling a few bucks for the rental. 4.5/10

This movie was awesome, had me side bustin i was laughing so hard at some of eddies jokes. Man has some interested and funny concepts on a lot of the more modern subjects of what is going on in the world today. As he talks about 9/11, PU**Y, DRUGS and about his family life throughout the film. His family is quite crazy, and they get pretty involved with the family and get a little deep into his family life. Editing looked like maybe eddie let one of his homies from the hood handle, but its not that bad. Just looks like some1 was trying too much new stuff and should of just kept it a little more basic and straight up. I mean its a comic stand up, don't wanna over do it with the editing like Real Cancun did... Great Movie though, 9/10 very very funny man.
