DysFunktional Family

What were you guys watching, this guy is weak. How is he famous? If you're a brain dead dolt, it might appeal to you. Some of his bits were painfully recycled by other comedians sets. I seriously didn't crack a smile watching him hack it as a comic. And the movies he stars in suck *ss. Unoriginal, ignorant, wannabe Pryor. I'm am now dumber from watching him. I don't get it, did they edit out the funny? He's like a beady eyed rat with a sloping forehead and big teeth. And for those that said this is a family flick, what kind of ghetto family are you raising. That kind of thinking is what is wrong with society and I feel sorry for who you are raising. Ignorance spawns ignorance, I guess. Oh yeah clubsi ownz joo!

Eddie Griffin's masterpiece standup comendy routine has been perfected! This inside look at his growing up in Kansas City is amazing! His "perverted" uncle who tapes the women he has sex with to his other uncle crack smoking talk is priceless. Eddie has come a long way from his early days of comedy and his days on "Malcolm & Eddie". When you watch this you realize that as a storyteller, he's as good if not better than the Grandfather of Comedy concert films, Richard Pryor. Eddie is out of that same mold. This film will surprise a lot of people with it's honesty and openess. Eddie is so much more than the "Undercover Brother", he's a worthwhile superstar!! He's growing up, learning the meaning of life and sharing it with us to laugh at and enjoy. I saw a rough screening several months ago at a small theatre in the LA area without the soundtrack. I have heard that rapper/trouble again'd Sug Knight did the soundtrack! This should be the concert film event of the year, don't miss it! If there was a higher rating than a "10", I would say it's a 12 !!!!

Having watched all the Richard Pryor concerts, Eddie Murphy, Martin Lawrence, Chris Rock, Red Foxx and many many other R Rated comedians I have to say this movie was a bit of a let down. There are some funny routines but the whole thing just leaves you feeling a bit flat. Griffin makes extensive use of the N Word that hasn't been heard since early Richard Pryor routines. In fact one problem I had is that it seems like Eddie was trying to be too much like Richard and not enough like himself. The references to his family were ho-hum especially the dry routine about his grandfather and porn watching uncle. Sounds a bit like watered down Pryor. Like I said there are some funny spots, but for every funny moment you have to sit through escapades of so so moments that make you smirk instead of crack up. Wait till this one comes on HBO instead of shelling a few bucks for the rental. 4.5/10

This is a good movie, especially the concert part. Eddie is a great mimic. Check out this movie if you want to laugh a lot. Also, noticed that Eddie looks a lot like Alan Keyes. The part about different religions is great. Not for everyone, as some people, especially the people who should see a film like this, wont go because they don't want to expose their delicate ears to profanity but have no problem with all the crap that goes on in the world. Funnier than Chris Rock if you ask me. Also, this movie gives a good idea of how people are like in the Midwest as the concert takes place in the Midwest. Check it out if you want to see a good movie. Kabish?

Eddie Griffin's DysFunktional Family is a pretty funny movie if you like urban comedy. Griffin touches on everything from sex & 9/11 to religion and family. His stand up routines were every funny and he's a natural in front of the camera. The movie isn't for all tastes and sure the movie has bad editing but who cares,it's a stand up film. If you want a good laugh then check this one out.
