Ellen DeGeneres: En commun

Ellen is a great comedian and one of my absolute favorite but this show wasn't her best. Don't get me wrong, I had some good time and some laughs, it's just that I didn't love anything. Never did I say "I want to tell people to go and watch it", it was just one show.

So you can pass your time through this, but do not expect to be blown away!

If you're going to watch this show like you're going to see a John Mulaney, Jimmy Carr, Ricky Gervais comedy stand-up, you will be disappointed.

This is basically Ellen at 60, talking about her life like having a conversation with us in a comedic manner.

It was very enjoyable, she is a light in the world and she shines bright, there were hits and there were misses. Some parts made me laugh and some didn't. But it made me smile throughout.

I thought it was lovely and charming and definitely would recommend to all Ellen fans.

7/10

Almost over half the special was so good and funny, but then it felt like she had no content left to say and it became boring towards the end with lots of funny stuff that we heard of like a hundred time

The problem is that it's not a comedy special. What Ellen did was more like an opening monologue to a talk show. Some stories were funny. There were just no jokes really. Just stories. Watchable i guess.

Before I watched this I read some reviews and some of the bad ones kind of baffle me. I am not sure what people were expecting after decades. Maybe the greatest comedy act of all time. And when this wasn't that they one stared it in response. Yes it is ALOT about Ellen's coming out. It was a HUGE part of her life. A popular tv show that got run into the ground a year after she came out....that is going to effect someone. It probably took her YEARS to find the comedy in it. One of them complains about the comedy being about Rich People Problems....well yeah. That is kind of the point. When Ellen went from out of work actor to one of the most respected daytime talk show hosts on tv today. Some of her jokes are simply about would she still be "relatable" to her fans the same ones who made a comic a tv star and a tv star a talk show host.....my answer is yes. She is very relatable....that is kind of her shtick.
