I know that Gabriel Iglesias is a very hot comic right now, but I was still surprised that his latest stand-up performance came to the theaters and not to TV or direct to DVD. I didn't go see it in the theaters--mostly because I didn't see the point of watching a stand- up routine in a theater and such a thing could be seen about as well at home.
The film has a prologue with a kid who is supposed to be Gabriel at about age 8. It's kind of cute--but only makes up a few minutes of the film. The rest is his stand-up routine and he talks about a variety of topics such as his weight, his step-son and his relationship with his estranged father. A lot of it is very serious and not funny, though there are plenty of laughs as well. However, I really think his other performances I've seen were funnier--mostly because he told more stories and used more funny voices in those. Here, he's talking much more about life, family relations and being raised without father-- all topics which he jokes about a bit but also with a tough edge of seriousness. It's worth seeing and he is an immensely talented guy but not his best work.
