hyped garbage

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

If you watch Comedy Central for any length of time (especially late at night), one thing you may be struck by is the raunchiness and shock-value angle of many (if not most) of the stand-up routines. It almost seems as if the intent isn't to make you laugh in the traditional manner (story:punchline) so much as to shock you into uncomfortable chuckles. Fortunately, this "Blue Collar" gang doesn't take that filthy approach.Instead, the four-pronged crew gets laughs in a much more family-friendly fashion that tames down the filth and amps up the self-effacing efforts. Though not every bit may be appropriate for the ears of your young kiddies, you won't have to worry about squirming in your seat when watching with all but the most uppity of viewers.The comedians (in order of appearance) include:Ron White: Besides the "alcoholic" persona, White is the most traditional of the bunch, and also probably the weakest, although still good for some belly laughs.Larry the Cable Guy: Everyone knows a country bumpkin persona like Larry, and that's his appeal. This film was his "coming out" party that really launched him to stardom.Bill Engvall: The "everyman" who doesn't so much tell jokes as recite funny life circumstances.Jeff Foxworthy: The established star who really drew in the initial throngs and got the "Blue Collar" brand going strong.Though the humor of that foursome may not be the most sophisticated, as Larry often says: "I don't care who you are...that's funny right there." Dozens of belly laughs are almost guaranteed, and for fans of this type of humor, you will be picking yourself up off the floor time and time again.

Let me get this straight.It took 5 producers to create this lame comedy movie? Tell the truth now, you have seen funnier flicks than this haven't you? And I'll bet many of those comedy movies were made 5 years ago or more. I just saw "Dodgeball" and laughed and laughed. It was well written, well directed and *gasp*) only had 2 producers one of whom I have my doubts about. (Stuart Cornfeld)No one will remember this stinkeroo (Blue Collar et al) after 2 years.(thankfully)Five thumbs down.

I first watched this movie not even a month after a very tragic time in my life. I had just lost my grandmother. And in the midst of all the pain i was suffering, i laughed till i cried throughout the whole movie!!! The guys did an absolutely awesome job. I'm looking forward to seeing them do comedy together in the future. Oh and just thought i would add this in...... RON WHITE is HOT!!!!!!!!! :o) And to add one more thing i thought was so funny..... my parents watched this with me and then went to bed. I heard them yelling for me in their bedroom so i walked in and dad was laughing so hard he could hardly tell me. Mom had asked him if he liked it and if he thought it was good, Dad replied "did we do something all ready " and mom said Here's your sign. I rolled on the floor laughing. It was so funny!! I thought that Bill,would enjoy reading this one. Keep up the good work guys! Can't want to see if there is a part 2 to this film. My whole family has bought this movie and we all love it. We continue to laugh every time we watch it. It really was amazing. Sincerely, Amanda

Comedy, for the most part, is rather subjective. There are some artists, Bill Cosby comes to mind, that transcend ethnic, gender and political lines. 'Subjectively' speaking, Blue Collar Comedy Tour left me limp and gasping for breath, I laughed so hard. After watching it on Comedy Central, it's funny enough that I will actually go spend money to purchase the movie! For me, that is telling. I'm not a redneck, per se, and this is more than 'You might be a Redneck if...' comedy. Not ever having seen Ron White or Larry, the Cable Guy before, I didn't know their work. Larry's caricature left me feeling he was a southern, podunk hick, and his admonitions that 'No matter who you are, that's funny' left me a little dry. Okay, what he was talking about *was* funny, but if you didn't know that already, it was probably past your bedtime.Ron White is just plain down and out funny. His timing is wonderful, and you don't get what you expect. You do laugh a lot, and you need to put down your beer before he starts talking, lest you blow it out your nose!Bill Engval is the funniest comedian in this line up. If you don't know Bill's work, watch the movie. You will become a fan. His 'Here's your Sign' stuff is funny, but has gotten like Foxworthy's 'You might be a redneck...' However, Bill shines in that he can talk about anything at home, and have you rolling on the floor.Jeff Foxworthy was the draw of the concert series for those who didn't know the others. He still is funny, but his work doesn't seem to show the freshness that it used to. Maybe he needs to take lessons from Engval. However, his telling of the 'beaver and the nipple' story shows that he still has the touch. The last part of the movie is the kicker. Pause the movie before all four sit down and start telling stories, get another beer, and empty your bladder. I was laughing so hard that I couldn't breathe! The four of them together is the quintesential four 'Good ol' boys' on a Sunday afternoon. It is classic comedy. This movie is one of those movies that you need to watch!
