Very well executed

Good concept, poorly executed.

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

Classic stand up, in Tim Allen's "Tool Time Tim" demeanor. guaranteed laughs. If you like humor that isn't watered down and plants jokes without care for feelings, you'll love it. If you grew up in the 1990's, prepare for some nostalgia and laughs!

Here we got "Tim Allen: Men Are Pigs", a half-hour live action short film from 1990, well actually it is a comedy stand-up, so maybe you could even call it a documentary. At 30 minutes, it is pretty short, even for a comedy routine, but maybe they just included the better parts? I'm not sure, but I don't think so. Anyway, the title gives away that Tim Allen is the star in here and this came out around the same time when he started to work on his career-defining show "Home Improvement" now almost 30 years ago. But this should not be the subject now. I am just adding this because Allen in terms of his contents, physical approach etc. is considered among the most masculine comedians these days. His new show adds to that too. But I just don't see it with him. I never perceived him as much of an alpha male at all and as a consequence, his routine felt really bizarre on several occasions. What I hear does not match what I see. Pretty bad title too. On the level of Mario Barth comedy to be honest and my fellow Germans will understand the reference. Admittedly, Allen is not that bad. There is an okay moment here and there I cannot deny it. But all in all, it just wasn't enough I have to say, not even for this brief runtime. I am not a fan of Allen from what I have seen from him by now. And this one here definitely won't turn you into a fan. Only watch it if you like (or love, even better) him before already. For me it is not a failure, but definitely a thumbs-down. There wasn't a single laugh-out-loud moment in here.

Tim Allen reminds me of my dad, and probably reminds most white middle- class kids of their dad too. His humor relies mostly on bashing his wife, his mother, and women in general, but not neglecting to berate the shortcomings of himself and other men as well. It's a stale form of humor this day and age, but his energy on stage manages to makes it at least somewhat interesting to watch and even if I wasn't laughing I was at least smiling.
