The Roast of Tom Brady (2024)
As good or better than past roasts
This brings back memories of previous roasts, especially reminded me of roasters like Greg Giraldo, Anthony Jeselnik, Amy Schumer, Sarah Silverman, etc.
The comedians and athletes did a great job of roasting Tom Brady. My top three were Nikki Glaser, Tony Hinchcliffe, and Andrew Schulz, who were incredible and reminiscent of the comedian roasters I listed above.
Sure, there were parts I didn't like, I don't know that any show or movie that exists where I liked 100% of them, but that wouldn't make me give less of a star. For example, I wouldn't give movies like Pulp fiction or Goodfellas less of a score because some small parts were a little slow, because as a whole, they were incredible.
That's the same reason I'm giving this a 10. Because as a whole, all three hours, were amazing. While some parts were a little slow and i wanted to fast forward but couldn't since it was live, I haven't laughed that hard at anything in a long time.
A couple of people who got on stage were dull and one special guest Ben Affleck was particularly angry, but I couldn't believe how funny it was. It was just like back when Greg Giraldo was ripping into everyone without mercy. I actually think now Nikki Glaser could give him a run for his money, and that's saying something.
The Con Is On (2018)
going for ridiculous. nailed it
The point of the movie was that it was supposed to be absolutely ridiculous and dry humor mixed with satire. I think it hit the mark perfectly. Still pretty ridiculous and dumb, not a great movie, but not as terrible as some people are saying. I think that the movie could have been a lot better, but could also have been a whole lot worse. Not really a huge "con" so I think the title should have been better. I think that some parts were hilarious, whereas other parts were just okay. In terms of plot and action, it was very underwhelming. Not funny enough to call a comedy and not cunning enough to call a "con". It just IS.
The Prince (2021)
Comedy is supposed to push boundaries...
It's obvious it's just making fun of the royal family as a whole, and clearly isn't meant to depict them accurately. It really IS Family Guy meets The Crown, and I found it hilarious. It's like people don't understand satire anymore...
