Editorial Reviews:

Superstar comedian/actor George Lopez, one of the premier comedic talents in the entertainment industry, makes his HBO solo debut performed live in front of a packed house at the Dodge Theater in Phoenix, Arizona. Lopez delivers a hilarious routine touching on his own Latino roots, immigration and naturalization, modern-day kids, old-school values, interracial relationships, the e-coli outbreak, and the future.

Summary: Steer clear - not funny
Comment: I liked standup comedy. I have seen George Lopez's show a couple times and it was okay. So I thought I would give his standup routine a try. It was terrible. For one, it should be rated "R" for profusive language. Strike one for funniness. Also, for the first 15 minutes (all I watched) he just complained about US immigration policy. Strike two. He also throws a ton of Spanish in - maybe I'm glad I couldn't understand. Would not recommend to anyone.

Summary: What happened George
Comment: My husband and I love his last stand up but this one wasn't very funny, it was just crude.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Hilarious
Comment: It's George Lopez, it's funny, if you like George, you will like this DVD. He touches on a lot of honest issues and tells it how it is. If you find this DVD offensive, it has done it's job :) Highly recommend, 100x better than the TV show, stand up in it's RAW, uncut, glorious form. If you want something rated PG, stand up is not for you!

Summary: VERY FUNNY!!!
Comment: This is VERY FUNNY. if you like Why You Cryin than you will enjoy this. All of the things he says bring back memories from my childhood.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Solid entry in ethnic standup
Comment: Like Carlos Mencia, Mr. Lopez mines ethnic stereotypes not just of Mexicans (Mariachi music, illegal immigration, drinking, crime) but also of mostly-hypothetical WASPs (BlackBerries, Bluetooths, feng shui, Starbucks). There's plenty of jokes about how Mexicans do all the dirty work Americans supposedly won't do ("Do you know who's rebuilding New Orleans? FEMA - Find Every Mexican Available").
But Mr. Lopez actually shows pretty good range -- it's not just jokes based on ethnic stereotypes, but also matters as diverse as hirsute grooming, family problems and growing up poor. He's actually funniest when he talks about the differences between his childhood and children growing up today: "Do you know what our `Lunchables' was? Two weenies on a fork, over a stove!" Overall, he has a few laugh out loud moments and is worth the time to watch, if not to purchase.
