Even when some of his material has a "been there, heard that" sense to it, Griffin's outbursts of charisma help elevate the overall presentation. Full Review |

Eddie notes he if had a gay son, he'd tie him to a bed and send in a whore every hour. "How can any father be proud of a having a gay son?" he asks bewilderedly. Full Review |

For every bit that's flatly derivative ... there's another that connects. Full Review |

Offensive is easy. Daring takes brains. And brains seem to be in short supply here -- almost in as short supply as laughs and audiences. Full Review |

1.5/5 |
Interminable going, not only because the forward momentum of Griffin's stand-up is routinely interrupted by annoying side trips to visit his porno-loving uncle or his cringing mom, but also because Griffin's material just isn't that funny. Full Review |

A fun if not particularly revelatory slice of entertainment, Griffin’s concert film seems largely designed only to shock with vulgarity without searching for the deeper 'why' behind the jokes. Full Review |

Griffin's keen wit, coupled with director Gallo's sense of pacing & alternating stage and offstage material makes this more than a concert film. Full Review |

Griffin's family is fascinating and real, and his comedy, while it can be caustic, has a positive spirit. Full Review |

One of the funnier and, in an odd way, disturbing stand-up concert films in a long while. Full Review |
