George Carlin's American Dream

It was nice to walk through the decades with Carlin, Brenda and Kelly. Its beautiful to see the "cynical/realist" have a life off the stage. The archival footage is amazing and crisp. The personal recordings, voicemails and letters put a personal touch on this documentary I think George himself would've approved of.

This two part documentary chronicles the life, comedy and turbuletions of the one and only George Carlin in his life long quest to finding and making his voice heard. With interviews with his family and close friends as well as a number of comedians who were influenced heavely by his work, this documentary portrays the comedy legend in all of his ups and downs in his personal as well as his professional life in an entertaining and enlightening way. It seems that even years after his death his views and takes on society are still fresh snd poignant as ever, and this is brilliantly showed in the documentary. A must watch!

Best biography I've ever seen. The format, editing, content and casting are perfect. The family's involvement was really great. Well worth the watch. If you are a fan it's a must.

Great documentary a great look at one of the best in the comedy world and how he was off stage. Nobody did it better than carlin and probably never will.

It appears that some people didn't watch this in it's entirety. Those who are wrapped up in the political and religion jokes are the ones who George Carlin wanted to offended the most. Mission accomplished. But this was such a great look at his entire career and hearing other comedians perspective on the bits being told and how Carlin evolved as an artist.
