Scott Weinberg Apollo Guide Here's a not-so-shining example of why stand-up comedy rarely works onscreen. Rated: 22/100 Oct 10, 2001 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member The two stars are for Chris Rock and Bill Hicks... Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie is a showcase of some of the upcoming talent during the late 80's/Early 90's. In the line up 0f 12 comedians are a 21 year old Chris Rock, a pre-home improvment Tim Allen and of course the legendary Bill Hicks. Each comedian is described as being controversial, dirty and crude. Unfortunatley only a small handful of the comedians actually manage to deliver the laughs and live up to the description. The idea for this showcase is great but because each comedian is given between 7 to 10 minutes each, it becomes hard to adjust to their style and humour. Without a doubt, Bill Hicks and Tim Allen steal the show but due to set times the range of subjects are limited. This movie is definatley worth a watch but it's not the sort of movie to write home about. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member with the exception of Bill Hicks, Chris Rock, Tim Allen, and the puppet act of Otto & George, there really isn't munch of thats great in the show. However, any footage of Bill Hicks performing is always a good thing so i'll give it 4 stars Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews
