    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.

    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

    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.

    Funny, Funny....

    This movie, if you want to call it that, has plenty of laughs for you. That is, if you like stand up comedies. Like Eddie Murphy did in Delerious and Martin did in Runteldat, John L. does it for the latin audiences and for everyone at that. He's a very underrated star in Hollywood. With some bad choices in the past such as The Pest, he has made some bigger impacts such as Executive Decision with Kurt Russell and Steven Seagal. Watch it, I'm sure you'll laugh your patootie off. 3 *'s out of 4 *'s for laugh factor.

    • 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.
