I can't believe I hadn't seen this.
When I was given the opportunity to review this I couldn't wait. I had heard a lot about the 'Roasts' on Comedy Central but hadn't actually seen one. After watching my first Roast I have to say that I am hooked.
Comedians take turns cutting Shatner down. (He's bloated, he's washed up. he's a terrible actor..) They also turn the jabs at eachother. (Farrah's poster was great but nobody wants to f*ck her anymore, Artie Lange is a fat drunken sloth and Bettie White has an overactive bladder..)
There is nothing sacred, and no punches are pulled. Sometimes the jokes border on being offensive, so I suggest you have a pretty open sense of humor when viewing.
I would recommend this DVD to anyone with a
warped sense of humor like yours truly. This is some funny shizzle here. The best part is that Shatner can laugh at himself as well.Starring: William Shatner, Jason Alexander, Andy Dick, Greg Giraldo, Artie Lange, George Takei, Nichelle Nichols, Ben Stiller, Sandra Bullock, Jimmy Kimmel, Sara Silverman, Betty White, Kevin Pollak, Lisa Lampanelli
