Summary: I Can't Believe I'm Reviewing This Movie
Review: About two years before this movie was released, I attended an Andrew Dice Clay concert one night at a resort in the Catskills.
That afternoon, I had lunch with three middle-aged ladies who spoke at great length about their shock that such a hotel would book a "vulgar" artist like Clay.
As I took my seat that night, I wondered if maybe one of the ladies had a point - maybe his humour was more attuned to comedy clubs or Cable TV. I uncharacteristically ordered a mixed drink and sat forward as the lights went down. The opening act appeared, one of those less-focused comics who seems to intentionally do a mediocre job so as to enhance the status of the featured act. (He actually looked like me, and after the show, in the disco, a guys comes up to me and says, with emotion, "Hey, you were pretty funny". I said "It wasn't me", and he patted me on the back).
Clay is announced, steps into the spotlight, lights up his cigarette, and describes his pre-show, personal activity. To my left, an attractive blonde struggled with her reel-to-reel tape recorder, while to my right, the three ladies sat with their mouths open.
This video is ofcourse from a much different venue - Madison Square Garden, so all eyes are focused on Mr. Clay, no distractions. However, the "opening act" on "Dice Rules" is not a low-esteem set-up but a long semi-biographical series of vignettes. They're well done, but the kind of segment that one fast-forwards from.
The '91 performance contains alot of the expected offensive humour, and it's a bit hard to take. For example, the bit on Handicapped parking. But if you give it some thought, he's really expressing a kind of frustration that all people feel, whether or not they consider themselves free of prejudice or insensitivity. Making fun of Handicapped people is horrible, but poking fun at the *situation" of self-righteous non-Handicapped people who can't find a parking spot at the mall trying to control their reactions, can be humorous. (He does have pathos even when he's close to going over the top: he's the schoolyard bully who takes his Mother shopping on Saturdays).
Clay is actually more impressive with quieter, more everyday issues - such as describing a miserable trip to his wife's friend's guaranteed-to-be-miserable party.
More "traditional" successful bits include great imitations of actors like Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, John Travolta, and a pretty good Elvis on "Baby, What You Want Me To Do".
I enjoyed the good camera and edit work, which integrates the crowd in the performance.
(By the way, the three ladies stayed for the whole show).

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The undisputed comedy king.
Review: Andrew Dice Clay is the undisputed king of comedy. His rhymes are outrageously funny. Hell his whole entire act is funny. I recommend that everyone sees this video. I also recommend all his albums. And if the Diceman ever reads this, you are the greatest Dice.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: One of the best ever...
Review: Dice is one of the best ever. It shows in Dice Rules how much he has impacted people. Why not selling out MSG on top of that. The only reason I give this a 4 is because it isn't as intimate as Dice's other concerts. This has 20,000+ in the audience which makes it lose some sparkle. The jokes are great, and will keep you laughing.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Clay is the best

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Good Lord
Review: I watched this movie when I was about in 8th grade, and even then it wasn't the least bit funny. The problem with Clay is he blatantly insults anything and everything, and that is not humor. It is indecency. But apparently somebody must find this ape funny, for the shows were sold out!! Not only did he get a single laugh out of me, he made me realize just how low some people can go.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Dice At His Best
Review: If you like Mother Goose.....OH! This is a DVD for you. This is the Madison Square Garden concert when Dice was at his highest point of his career. Dice acts, sings, and slices & dices the J-Offs in the audience.

Dice is one of the most popular comedians in Las Vegas. His new CD from 2000 showed that he is back.

Just laugh your a... off!!

Summary: The Worst Movie Ever
Review: It's reassuring to know that this bozo was just a flash in the pan, now all washed up, appropriately. A true hatemonger whose name shouldn't be mentioned in the same breath as the greats, i.e., Pryor, Carlin. If I could give the rating "zero stars" this pseudo-movie would "earn" that distinction.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: ZERO STARS
Review: Whoa! what a stinker. If u can sit through this film your nuts.
Dice is the worst. the worst.
