gabriel iglesias's comedy project disappoints
i hate to do this to fluffy (aka Gabriel Iglesias) but this dvd showcases talent that disappoints. the only two good things off of this dvd are gabriel iglesias and his friend Martine (whom we finally get to meet- hooray!) who emcee the event. some of the acts make reference to drug use and quite frankly i did not expect this from gabriel's usual family-oriented material. i think that gabriel basically threw a bone to his friends by showcasing their raw talent on this dvd but unfortunately his good-hearted kindness does not work as this "new" talent falls short and quite frankly sort of disappoints. i hope that gabriel takes a cue to improve his recommendations and have better judgment when making a dvd for all of posterity to see.also, on the positive side (yes, there is a positive side to these performers) is that i think people would enjoy the comics on this dvd "live" rather than "filmed" on dvd. i think that for some reason these comedy acts just do not translate to video. it could be their material or their delivery style- i'm not sure as i am not in the field. i think next time the performers should come better prepared with "t.v." material rather than "live" or "comedy club stage" material.i'm sorry again to leave such a poor rating. it really breaks my heart to do it. much love to you gabriel from a somewhat disappointed fan:(
