Leave your thoughts about Mr. Warmth: The Don Rickles Project.
| minnpost.comRob NelsonLike Scorsese's Casino, in which Rickles had a small role, Mr. Warmth tips its hat to a demolished way of life--Vegas power having transferred from the Mob to the even scarier thugs of corporations. |
| VarietyRonnie ScheibA hilarious movie about a surprisingly funny man. |
| Filmcritic.comPaul BrennerLandis doesn't buttress Rickles' shtick with anything but smoke and mirrors, and the film falls away like a cheap suit. |
| User ReviewThomas A"Last man standing", with the Rat Pack all gone, Johnny C. gone, and so on, Don is the last of the great Las Vegas acts. John Landis made a terrific documentary about this legend living with a all star cast of commentators. |
| User ReviewMatt GGreat profile of the legendary entertainer. Should be on Blu-ray. |
| User ReviewMorris NWords fail me. He's one of the funniest people alive, still. I found myself almost passing out once, and I laughed until I cried more than once. Don't miss this. |
| User ReviewTheScarlatescu Rfinally seen it,this was so funny and so well done |
| User ReviewSpencer SThis movie shows why we (I included) can make having a bad day, into having a great day of laughter that was once misery. A truly funny man that we are blessed to have. Still going strong at 84. |
| User ReviewJason Wa funny, amusing, and fascinating biography of 1 of the best stand up comedians in history |
| User ReviewJames HThis is so awesome of a movie, I plan to buy the DVD after renting it... And plan to rent "Kelly's Heroes" next Don Rickles was always one of my favorite comics... I rememeber being a kid and watch the Dean Martin celebrity roasts, and cracking up listening to him - and i didnt even GET half the references he made... P.s those Dean Martin Roasts shows were great - if only you could buy the series on DVD from a reputable dealer.. Mr Warmth is great in that it profiles Don Rickles the onstage persona, and his real life... Sure he was the all-around wiseass king, but he wasn't "on" all the time... He really appreciated the fans and the people in his life... He may make fun of them constantly, but he appreciated them and showed it.. The DVD also has a hellva lot of past & current celebrity cameos in it... All of em having great Don Rickles stories...Even DeNiro & Scorcese are in it. I'm glad this won an Emmy (or whatever it just won) - it deserved it.. |
