Friendship is essential to making a troupe like this work, and from the short clips intermingled between their stand-up it is obvious that these four comedians have been around for a very long time. They have been telling each other jokes as well as building off each other in hopes to better themselves and provide quality entertainment for their audiences. This is shown with the last couple of minutes of their performances when they all come out and interact with each other and the audiences. This provides for some of the funnier moments of the film. Just to see them talking to each other, laughing at their jokes, and building a continual friendship makes the audience laugh more, Jen and I laugh more, as well as showing us this human side to these soothsayers of day-to-day activities.
This was a very entertaining program to watch on a night where comedy was definitely needed to lighten the spirits. These four guys are masters of their domain, and while Bill Engvall is our least favorite of them (he just delivers too quickly and less redneck), we still find ourselves laughing all together. We cannot wait to get our hands on more of Larry the Cable Guy's material and see where he finds the humor in our lives. Speaking of Larry the Cable Guy, my wife and I were talking about how we think his entire act is just an act. He is not as redneck as he talks, but instead is building his reputation on it. If this is true, I am very impressed. Here he is building his bank account using a voice that is not uncommon here in the Mountains of Virginny. Also, we were very impressed with Ron White, whom we had never heard before. His humor is sharp and dark at the same time. He had my wife rolling on the floor with laughter during 95% of his act. That is very impressive. I cannot knock Foxworthy, but if you have ever heard any of his stand-up, you have heard his stand-up. It hasn't changed that much from when I heard him several years ago. While I still laughed at his jokes, I did think that he may need to revamp some of his material especially his ultra-classic "You Might Be A Redneck If " material.
Overall, we were very impressed with this program and immediately ran out the next night to get the sequel to hear ourselves laugh again and again. Whether you are a redneck, hate rednecks, or just need something to laugh at, this is for you. It was a very impressive outing for these guys, and an enjoyable evening for the house. We loved it
