Product Description Movie DVD
Amazon.com Dane Cook receives a rock star's welcome from a packed arena in this stand-up concert originally broadcast on HBO. But the jury may still be out on whether Cook is phenomenally funny or simply a phenomenon. He is certainly a master of the new media. Cook has savvily marketed himself on the Internet to his target college-age audience, and they have embraced him as a fellow "bro" and "dude," who would seemingly be awesome to party with. In his timbre and physicality, he has the shaggy, likeable quality of Will Farrell, another frat boy favorite. Cook is a man of his people. At one point, he is interrupted by a drunken Boston Red Sox fan who wants to shake his hand. Cook then leaps off the stage and chases him up the aisle to give him a send-off hug, all the while being clapped on the back and offered high and low fives by the cheering audience. Cook comes complete with arrested development lingo, such as "Here's what drove me banana sandwich," that will no doubt be repeated around the dorm. Don't look to Cook for satirical insights on politics, the war, or even pop culture. His world view is much narrower. In Vicious Circle he expounds on the pleasures and traps of lying, male crying, being sneezed on, his father's robe, bad relationships, and sundry sexual matters that cannot be printed here. Cook takes awhile to get where he's going, but his digressions are often funnier than the pay offs. He puts the brakes on one story during which he mimes driving a car to remark that if he were actually driving this way, he would be all over the road. During other bits, he parses the different spray modes on Windex, and takes the phrase "being cheated on" literally. And it takes some kind of associative genius to compare a certain female body part to a high school stage theatre curtain. The less than well received Employee of the Month aside, Cook is currently king of the comedy hill. Vicious Circle offers a time capsule look at these heady good times for the great Dane. As for where he goes from here, the good news is that Steve Martin once filled arenas like this. The bad news: So did Andrew Dice Clay. --Donald Liebenson

Really Funny! But Some of the Material is Not for All Occasions June 23, 2009 Dee62383 (USA) Even though I'm a somewhat conservative person, I'm a fan of Dane Cook. I originally saw Vicious Circle on TV, loved it, and wanted to own it. I bought the DVD recently, and it was a good choice. I will say though, that this is not really a DVD you'll want to watch with your parents or younger kids. He does mention some fairly raunchy topics, including sex and masturbation . . . so be prepared for that and accommodate accordingly. The DVD also contains a second disc, which plays the entire show with deleted scenes included. One scene features two girls that get up on stage and start kissing each other. Sorry to be so "boring," but as a heterosexual woman, I really could have done without that. I'm not suggesting that homosexuality is disgusting; I just don't want to look at it. I'll just opt for the first disc from now on. I'm not trying to complain but rather inform. Nonetheless, Dane Cook is good at what he does. It also helps that Dane Cook is easy on the eyes. I've watched the entire show more than once and I still laugh. And to top it off, I have a nice view. Overall, I recommend it to anyone who likes or tolerates his liberal sense of humor.

Hilarious! May 17, 2009 K. Edwards (Mississippi) I bought this as a gift for my boyfriend because I love Dane Cook and I thought he would enjoy this DVD. He said the DVD was hilarious and that the best stuff wasn't even part of the HBO special it was in the extras. So if you like Dane Cook you'll want to pick up this DVD.
