not much laughter

All you get from this is a bit of history, a lot of talk about how great it was for a bunch of guys to get together to insult each other, and very few actually funny moments. January 22, 2001

A Must-See For Comedy Lovers

I saw this when it played on Cinemax about a year ago. Very funny stuff. It has great interviews with legends like Milton Berle, Buddy Hackett, Sid Caesar and Steve Allen. Also, unbelievable, and incredibly rare, roast footage. Very, very entertaining. December 21, 2000
