Dysfunktional Family

Buy This Item Dysfunktional Family by Miramax Films  Available from Amazon  $12.99  on 11-24-2008     This is a pretty good DVD. One has to hand it to Eddie for revealing such dysfunctional family behaviour that would usually be kept secret. He has really aired the dirty laundry on this show. The good thng about it is that ALL families have a degree of dysfunctionality about them. <br /> <br />There are several sidesplitting jokes to be enjoyed by all. The jokes are indeed quite funny, but I have to say that I have heard very similar jokes told by Richard Pryor. In fact, the similarities extend into Eddie's physical humour. Perhaps it evidence of Pryor's influence on comedians that came after him that there should be such striking similarities. <br /> <br />As is customary with Griffin performances, it's all about the jokes. There is precious little socio-plitical commentary. that is okay though, because the jokes are good enough to keep you interested. I for one, prefer to watch satirists and socio-political commentators of high calibre (eg Chris Rock, Dave Chappelle and Michael Colyar). Eddie is the funniest guy I know who does little commentary. <br /> <br />I would strictly rate this dvd at 70%, but our 5 star rating system does not permit. Worth watching Reader Reviews With an R rating on its package, what did people expect? Rainbows and fuzzy bears popping out of the box??? I'm sorry to say, but people should know what they are getting into. It's not exactly uncommon for profanity or other "offensive" content to be thrown around in a stand up comedy. If you want something that's not so controversial, stick with the PG stuff. We all need to ease up on the sensitivity issue and lighten up, esp when you're watching a stand up...
