    Comedy from a different culture

    John Leguizamo is got to be one of the brilliant comedians around. I seen most of his movies and he is mad cool. When he acts it's so natural you can't even tell that he's acting. The Colombian accent he has makes him seem very suave. I remember him playing the evil clown on Spawn and he was just hilarious. I hope there's more of him to see in later movies.

    john leguizamo is one talented man!

    john leguizamo doesn't need anybody to write a script for him. that would be a step down. his hbo special was one of the funniest things i have ever seen. it reminded me of eddie murphy's "delirious." john's amazing comedic talent was only a few steps ahead of his mad dancing skills. one of the many things i loved about the whole production was his ability to make a joke at his own expense. nothing was held back and that's what i enjoyed most.

    Good, but this was so much better live

    John Leguizamo is a genius. His ability to to spin out funny and touching tales is truly one of the most amazing things I've ever had the pleasure to witness. I originally saw the show before its Broadway run and before the show was taped for HBO and through a good portion of it I was hoping that some one would record it since I was laughing so hard I was missing a good portion of it.

    It is with some regret that I watched the HBO version of the show. While its mostly the same show I saw several months before I found it less funny thanks to the tightening of the material for Broadway and TV. (The show I saw ran about an hour longer than what is on tape) This isn't to say that the show isn't good, it is, its just that should you ever get the chance to see him live run as fast as you can since that is the best way to experience his magic.

    Up close and personal

    In this one-man stage show, John Leguizamo acts out scenes from his past family life, touching on his relationships with his mother and father, grandparents, siblings, aunts and uncles, and his wife and children. He shares with us the lessons he's learned from his life experiences. I can't imagine there are too many people who couldn't relate to some of them. At times it's so intimate that it's hard to watch, but at other times it's incredibly moving. And of course, it's funny. Mr. Leguizamo is so talented, it's a crime that he doesn't get better film roles. Hopefully, that will change soon.

    Oh yeah, he's also a very good dancer, and he looks great in a wifebeater and tight jeans, which doesn't hurt at all. :0)

    John L

    i think that this movie is great. its laugh to you cry funny. its highly recommended if you want to laugh! 5 out of 4. Other great stand up from John L. are: Mambo Mouth, Spic-o-Rama(he dresses for each of his character that he mentions), and Freak. All of his comedies are based on his "family background" He tells the story about how his family met to how he was brought up. this stand up comedy is not the best of all his film works but its a lot better then the Latin kings of comedy or the Latinpalooza! This i can can say with out a doubt. Buy it, borrow it, steal it, do what you have to do to get a hold of this film you will enjoy it and want to watch it again and again guaranteed.

    • Quotes

      John Lequizamo: I remember there was this one hottie that was legendary in our neighborhood. Her dad was a cop, and she never came down from the third floor. We started calling her Rapunzel Garcia. Now, Rapunzel used to think she was better than me, 'cause she was Argentinean and didn't have any Indian in her... yet.
