Ellen DeGeneres - Here and Now


Starring:Ellen DeGeneres
Director: Joel Gallen
Studio: Hbo Home Video
Product Type: DVD

Editorial Review:
Amazon.com
With a loose, free-associative flow, Ellen DeGeneres glides through her 2003 HBO special, Here and Now. In just the first 10 minutes she touches on procrastination, new paint colors, television commercials, and mental disorders--topics that fit into the show's subtitle, Modern Life and Other Inconveniences. By the end, she's also spun out sneaky jokes about cell phones, memory loss, elevators, vocal inflections, pickle jars, and social embarrassment. Her genius is that she never seems like a genius; on the contrary, DeGeneres seems like your next door neighbor pointing out the obvious, yet somehow an hour whizzes by in complete enjoyment. It's peerless observational humor--nothing groundbreaking or piercingly satirical, but simply fun. --Bret Fetzer
Description
Ellen DeGeneres has done everything, from starring in hit sitcoms and movies, to writing best-selling books, to having her own new talk show, scheduled to debut this fall. But she's never forgotten her roots as a stand-up comedian. Taped at New York City's Beacon Theatre before a live audience, Ellen DeGeneres: Here and Now features the kind of humor that first made her a star, offering her offbeat insights into everyday life. Her feel good humor touches on something that everyone can identify with from the obligatory gay joke, procrastination, fashion, public cell phone use, airline etiquette, self-esteem, and more.

5 out of 5 stars Comedy Queen.......2007-06-17

For those of you living under a rock, Ellen Degeneres is the host of her own hit talk show. Of course, she wouldn't be where she is today if she hadn't gained national fame through her comedy.

The Beginning is extremely funny. Especially since it was taped only three years after she came out. She makes alot more references to her sexuality in it than in Here and Now. The topics range from losing attention during conversations, to her stops at a health food store and a sex store, to even God herself. Here and Now is alot more family friendly than The Beginning, but both will make you laugh at how accurate they are to the everyday world.

Whether you're a fan of her talk show, a fan of her in general, or just enjoy a good comedy set, this DVD will not disappoint.

5 out of 5 stars Funniest Person Alive!.......2006-08-15

I recently got the chance to attend a taping of the Ellen Degeneres show (she danced with me, ha!) and I have to admit that I teared up when I actually got to see her in person. It has been a dream of mine for quite a while. Not only are these DVDs extremely funny and original, but they have some very touching moments, as well. The interpretive dance in "The Beginning" gave me chills, even as it made me laugh. And seeing Ellen tear up when she came out (ha) in "Here and Now" was beautiful. I admire this woman's strength and ability, and I strive to be like her. If you have a chance, buy this DVD set, you won't, can't possibly, be sorry. :)

There's really not much to say about this but it will have you laughing for hours afterwards.

5 out of 5 stars Ellen makes everyone happy!.......2007-01-23

One day during lunch hour, I placed the DVD in and tried to watch it. I started eating and she made me laugh so hard, I was afraid I d choke! So, I finally decided to watch it, when I wasnt eating and I laughed so hard, I could hardly breathe! She is just fantastic. Thank-you Ellen for making us feel so good! So, a few pointers... dont watch this while eating. Second, when you re down in the dumps, watch this DVD. Ellen will lift your spirits. Ellen to the rescue:)

5 out of 5 stars Awesome.......2007-01-09

This will have you falling out of your seat laughing. It's a little slow in the beginning, but it is so worth it by the middle and end!

5 out of 5 stars Great for some laughs.......2006-11-29

I laughed so hard the first time I watched "Ellen DeGeneres - Here and Now," I actually had tears rolling down my face (a rarity for me). Even though I've watched it several times now, it still makes me laugh. I can relate to so many things: procrastinating (with unfinished jobs all over the house); forgetting what I was going to say; waving at the wrong person; tripping then pretending to jog; singing the wrong words to songs; etc. On top of that, Ellen's humor is quite "clean" compared to most routines heard these days. I highly recommend this DVD for anyone looking for some good, clean laughs.

5 out of 5 stars Ellen rules.......2006-11-11

This HBO special airs all the time and I enjoy watching it every now and then. I think she makes some interesting observations and always remains hilarious. You need to see this.
