It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
... View MoreI really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.
... View MoreNot sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
... View MoreTrue to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.
... View MoreI think this is the second comedy show that I have watched from Gervais. But I must admit that I was thoroughly entertained by this particular show. I found it on Netflix and decided to give it a go, as Gervais tend to be rather entertaining in the TV and movie productions that he stars in.Straight off the top of my head, I must admit that I definitely love his blunt directness and straightforwardness. Gervais says things as they are, and he says what people are thinking. Gervais doesn't cushion it up by wrapping it in the god awful political and sexual righteousness that is permeating throughout everything these days, and have people scared to say what is really on their minds.His jokes are hillarious, straight and bluntly to the point and delivered with great skill.There are plenty of laughs throughout the show and he keeps it on a level where everyone can keep up.If you enjoy stand-up comedy, then "Ricky Gervais: Humanity" is definitely well worth checking out
... View MoreOhhhhhhh! Such a big fan of Ricky Gervais, I even tried to get tickets for this tour and they sold out too quickly. We all know what we're in for when it comes to Ricky Gervais, we love the shock value, the controversy and the non pc humour, but i cringed pretty much all the way through this at where those boundaries were pushed. Is there any boundary left? Of course I'll return to Gervais any time he brings out a new comedy. But think I'll stay away from the stand up.
... View MoreThis was simply THEE best comedy special we've seen in a very long time. We were laughing pretty much from start to finish. If you're PC, an Obama-era kid, or a beta male/female, you'll probably hate this special. The truth hurts people with double-digit IQs and Ricky does it in this special with such finesse. It's absolutely fantastic. If I bought DVDs anymore, this would definitely go in my collection. He spews out intelligent jokes at the audience like venom and to some viewers it makes direct contact, he's THAT good. Some of us enjoy bathing in that hilariously dark truth, and others with no sense of humour or intelligence get hurt by it. I can't say how much I loved this, there are no words.
... View MoreI really admire Ricky i think his views on animal cruelty and religion are spot on. I have been waiting for a new stand up for some time but i thought this show lacked originality and interest. The jokes were random and awkward to listen too. The why i don't have children section was odd and the floating balls just wasn't funny but it carried on. Listening to that section was painful. He felt the need to justify his humour and spent too much time talking about his reply's on twitter when he offended someone during a stand up or FB post. A really poor example of a comedy show, too self absorbed and lazy.
