    Leguizamo is the most talented man I have ever seen perform. This show is a definite to watch

    This was the funniest show I have ever seen in my life!! And I'm not even Puerto Rican. :) If you have the time to go see it on Broadway, or if you have HBO, this definitely is a show to take the time to watch! John Leguizamo is one of the most talented men I have ever seen perform.

    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.

    more than a comedian

    this show really proved that john is more than just a comedian

    he is a true entertainer that can sing, dance, and he plays so many roles perfectly that it made everything flow smoothly and go quickly, not like some comedians that are too stiff and only tell the jokes

    it mostly discusses his background and how it affected him growing up along with all of his crazy relationships and how they made him more "experienced"

    he really gets into it because after all it was based on his life..definitely a must see..too bad it never came out on video still played occasionally on HBO though, so if you see it on TV, WATCH IT! 10/10

    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.

    Well-written and well-performed

    More than a stand-up comedy show, this is the story of John's love life with funny moments and charming moments. Either John is borrowing a little bit from Rodney Dangerfield's self-depreciating "no respect" comedy or he's willing to tell it like it is. I suspect the latter.

    John is a very talented guy. He takes on the roles of everyone in his story: his grandparents, parents, his friends and past lovers. Each character is performed with seemingly easy precision.

    Watching this show, it was easy to see why the man has fans. He is deserving of them. Not only can he tell an incredible story of self-discovery, but he does so with wit, charm and heart.

    • 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.
