Dave Chappelle: Killin' Them Softly

This is a stand-up comedy DVD from the HBO special of 2000. Dave Chappelle is a comedian, songwriter and actor. He movie credits include Con Air and You've Got Mail.
Dave Chappelle has an easy going manner that is hilarious. He covers politics, racism and Sesame Street.
The DVD was alright, but to be honest, I fell asleep. It was too much like the Comedy Central series. This morning I have found the the HBO special came before the current show on television, much of the same material has been repeated in the later.

Score 18 of 50. If you seen the television series, don't bother.

  • Character Development 2 out of 10. You learn something of the man and his range of topics.
  • Acting 5 out of 10. It is a stand up comedy special so the range is limited, the delivery of the material is very good.
  • Photography, cinematography 2 out of 10. Just different camera angles of Dave on stage.
  • Writing, script 7 out of 10. Good jokes, well written.
  • Concept 2 out of 10. Goal was met, many laughs.
