Billy Crystal: 700 Sundays

I grew up on Crystal and would call myself a fan but haven't seen much other than City Slickers and When Harry Met Sally. I've always loved him in whatever other movie I've seen or other appearance I've seen him do. I've always liked him. 61* is a fantastic movie.

This was a great act by a top notch performer, well told with honestly. The story is dark but Crystal acknowledges this but he doesn't steep in it. He never makes it a sob story, he's just telling you his story. He lets the weight of the seriousness sink in and doesn't rush the next joke. But he also doesn't leave you hanging long.

His childhood is basically where pop culture started for me so it's fun to hear the rise of that stuff through his eyes. And it's not all about him, he turns it into a way for you to look at your life and how to make the most of it. I think he wanted to get some things off his chest, make people laugh and try to be helpful.

I thought gosh nearly 2 hours ,it's a marathon. But the genius of Billy Crystal takes over and it's compelling, I kept thinking don't stop Billy and the only thing I can say is I love you Billy and your life is unbelievable but your comedic genius will live on. I first saw you in 'Soap' and couldn't wait for your schtickl the Curly western's loved them, the famous Harry met Sally scene, the comedic elf that makes us laugh Anyone who is a Billy Crystal fan this show is a must, people who are less familiar are going to love watching a person expose his honesty ,pain, humor and love to the world

Crystal delivers a heartfelt and craftfully put together story of his fairytale upbringing and early adulthood. Along the way we get a history lessons, almost Forest Gump like, of the greatest characters in jazz and baseball from the 50s and 60s. Around the middle of the 2-hr long show Crystal delivers an unforgetable silent movie rendition of a barbeque party at his house that will literally make you Rolling On The Floor Laughing. Crystal is one of the most clever and creative comedians ever, and this show should be on your short list of things to see before you die. Brilliant, just brilliant.

I personally have never seen anything like this before and am so glad I have now.

I know Billy's story will give everyone a touch of familiarity. He pulls you into his own right away, he will make you laugh and even (for me at least) make you cry.

You know, it's such a simple thing. A man telling you the story of his life. Not for this one though. The presentation brings the emotions of being there to life. It becomes way more than "just a story".

Watching this is giving yourself something good. I recommend when you do that you give yourself time. No interruptions. You want to watch it all in one sitting. It really is worth every second.

For me, my family came to America and stayed on the east coast. When I was just a few years old we broke away and moved to the west. Along with a few of our closest family members. We brought the East Coast values along with us. Something I never truly understood like I understand them now.

Good food, strong family, hard times, breath taking moments and always, always love.

You do not have to live on the east coast, have it your past or in your heart to enjoy this amazing show. You only need to clear your mind and take a listen. You will come away appreciating the many moments in your own life. You will also be reminded of how precious it and how much each person in your life means to you.

You deserve to watch it.

This had everything and more. The drama was surprising yet not glaringly abundant. Yet the way it was delivered had me hanging on every word. As someone who don;t like drama at all, that was a pleasant surprise. The visuals were really the best HBO has ever done for a comedian! I mean the way they did it was just breath taking. It drew you into the story which I really did not except from a comedy show.

Billy crystal did his A game that I have never seen in a comedian before or since. I mean he did it all and you felt it all. Happiness, sadness, anger, uncertainty, hope, love and humor. I mean not Robin Williams, Richard Pryor, Micheal Mcintyre, George Carlin, Danny Bhoy, Josh Wolf or Sebastian Maniscalco could even do all that in one show!
