Wickedly funny.
There is a blueprint here for what should be the next wave of comedy-concert movies, but the filmmaking team has only used part of it.
His routine about the differences between cat lovers and dog lovers demonstrates how perceptive and just flat-out funny he can be when he's not trying so hard to shock us.
If its star were more consistently funny, it might have worked, but the film opens with a string of dreadful Sept. 11 gags and takes a while to recover.
Many will find Griffin profane, sexist and decidedly offensive. Many more will find his raunchy insights inspired, his body language hilarious and his gift for mimicry and caricature worth the entire show.
If Griffin were a jowly Southern redneck, his mean-spirited rants would make him a pariah.
It's nauseating, unfunny stuff, unmitigated by the revelation that Griffin's mom physically abused him.
