How sad is this?

I 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.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

Sinbad Where Have U Been. We have missed you. I just happen to be changing the channel and Thankfully caught most of his act. Why OH Why have you been gone so long. Laughing is the best medicine and I got the biggest dose ever last night. There is something about clean humor, its REAL. I just LOVE that you don't have to curse to get laughs. I want to buy a copy of the show, where can I go to get it. I want to share it with everyone I know. Definitely right up there with Cosby. I just couldn't stop laughing and it left me wanting MORE.Thanks for coming back, even if its only for awhile, we've missed you. Keep Rockin'-----We Love U

The only other Sinbad special I had seen was Afros and Bellbottoms, and thought it was funny, but nothing over the top. I watched this special on Comedy Central, and frankly there were times when I was in the floor crying from laughter. Sinbad brought his A game, in my opinion.Also, his ability to not use blue comedy is outstanding. I think the only curse word I heard was Hell. In an age where every other comic has to use every dirty word in the book, Sinbad rocked it like Bill Cosby. Bravo sir. I recommend anyone of any age or race watch this special. I doubt it will let you down. And Sinbad rocking out on the guitar was also pretty funny to see. Go get em'!
