 Very Funny May 28, 2009
Classic Hollywood Lives (Massachusetts)
John Landis has done a brilliant job of capturing the essence of the inimitable Don Rickles; the "hockey pucks" who criticize the film as veering from the average (and predictable) documentary format have completely missed the point. A unique talent deserves a unique showcase, and Landis has created a film which not only appropriately honors Rickles' extraordinary talent, humor and intelligence, but also provides a solid hour-and-a-half of near non-stop hilarity. By the time the end credits roll, your face will ache from smiling and laughing - yet you'll be hard-pressed to explain just exactly what was so funny. That's the genius of Don Rickles - his hysterical insult riffs come so fast and furious that it's impossible to explain what exactly makes the magic. But why dissect it? Just sit back and enjoy the highly-crafted work of one of the greatest comics of all time - captured in a feel-good movie by a thoughtful (if unconvnetional) documentarian...I guarantee you'll laugh your head off!

This is worth the price and the 2 set DVD is interesting. I was however disappointed that one of the DVD disks was scratched when shipped.
The DVD shows his career from the beginning, the Johnny Carson years and the Las Vegas time period.
If you like his sense of humor, you will like this DVD.

What an outstanding documentary. Mr. Rickles has remained elusive to the cameras most of his riotous career. He has made guest appearances on various talk and variety shows, but rarely do these formats do him justice. He seems most at home in recent years on Late Show with David Letterman, but as funny as Don can be with Dave, nothing compares to seeing him live. This documentary is the closest we'll ever come to seeing one of the funniest men on the planet in his element. We see his outrageous antics onstage, and we are privileged to see his life offstage. I can watch this over and over (as I have), and never stop laughing. If you haven't seen Don Rickles live, you have to - you'll never forget it. And if you have, you probably already own this dvd. If you believe in being politically correct, perhaps you should rethink this purchase given how tight money is for most these days. But if you enjoy laughing your @ss off, you owe it to yourself, and your @ss, to have this handy.
Good, but Stephen Colbert was robbed! February 8, 2009
Brad Blake (San Jose, CA USA)
Don Rickles is truly an American original, and this is a wonderful, funny, heartwarming, hilarious, excellent overview of the man's career, and thankfully has enough recent live show footage to make it truly worthwhile. After all, it's nice to know all about Don, but even better to see real live performances!!!!!!!!
I finally saw Don in person about 6 months ago, and am so thankful to catch him while he's still active on stage.
All that said, I still say this had no business beating out Stephen Colbert for the Grammy. When is Don going on his show, like Barry?

The quality of manufacturing is not very good. The quality of the box is terrible. When I received the DVD set, the discs were loose inside the box. This is not the fault of Amazon, but of whoever made the packaging. Both discs were scatched and the playback was therefore affected. Amazon exchanged the discs with no problem, but as I expected, the next set was no different. So if you purchase this, don't expect a scratch-free disc.
