The Worst Film Ever
Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.
At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies
Although I did watch the whole thing, I've got to say that he lets his personal experiences with the 'bad stereotype' white people govern the direction of his comedy. That got old about halfway through. It just wasn't STAND-UP... it was like a narrative you'd hear on NPR radio, which granted isn't BAD, but it wasn't what I expected (or wanted).
It's awkward to sit through because the jokes aren't really laugh-out- loud funny by any means and it moves super slow. I didn't want to sit and watch them finish each other's sentences over and over again while they swayed back and forth and putted around the stage awkwardly. Nothing too entertaining to watch.
Loved it! It was innovative, funny, and personal. The humor and the stories were heart felt and I loved his use of pictures in the background to illustrate his stories. One of the best comedy shows I've seen in a while. I love humor that comes from real life stories. Its more relatable and hysterical. Enjoyed every minute of it.
Let me start off by saying, I'm a brown Immigrant kid in US. And, I got to say we don't have many Indian/Brown Comedians up here. So, when I heard Hasan has a new special coming up, I was quite excited. He is not the Best correspondent in Daily show, but he gets the job done quite well. His pieces are usually entertaining, not saying he is bad, but he is quite adequate compared to others. He definitely is in my top 5 correspondents after Oliver, Colbert, Carrell and Sam. It's not that he is not funny, but not upto his peers level, that is it. OK, enough of the rambling about Daily show. But, this special is purely entertaining only if you can relate. And, you can relate only if you are a Brown Immigrant kid. As I am the picture boy of that club, I was extremely satisfied with this special. It's not all belly laughs, but quite entertaining. All I got to say is, if you are a Brown kid, check it out and you may go back to your younger days with this guy. If you are not a Brown kid, you may see his points, but don't get the inner feel of that point. So, you may like or not like it. No guarantees. Watch for yourself and find out if this is upto your standard or not. But, for me, I liked it and will watch again soon. Good job, man.
