I am 56...and have been a Don Rickles fan since I was a teen...br /br /I have seen him on stage 3 times...and hope to again soon...br /br /You cannot miss with this man...and this is quite a tribute...br /br /Saw it on cable...br /br /Bought it and watched over coffee and after breakfast on a Sunday morning...br /br /Or was it a religious thing???br /br /In any case...to those who chose...(John Landis and Friends)br /br /My thanks...And Bless Mr. Rickles...
Brilliant, warm, funny April 9, 2008
Don Rickles made me so uncomfortable when I was young. All that insulting--what was so funny? I didn't get it. So I watched this documentary with some trepidation... and guess what? It turned me into a fan. John Landis teases warm, funny stories out of everyone in this film and reveals something I never saw before: that Rickles' ubiquitous insults serve to reveal all the ugly hidden biases we have, and, at the same time, allow the audience to feel superior to this guy who hates everyone. It's so brilliant. I'm recommending this film to everyone who grew up, as I did, seeing Don Rickles everywhere and not appreciating his schtick. Landis shows that Rickles is a generous, hilarious man who knows how to squeeze a laugh out of even the most uptight Gen Xer.
 What fans really wanted was a full standup routine :( February 22, 2008

Rickles is an 82 yr old comedy legend and we have very little footage of his standup routine on film. I suppose we never will now. :(
 Lacks Mr. Rickles stage show February 20, 2008

While this is a great tribute to Don Rickles and I think he's great this DVD should have came as a double disk set. One disk for the tribute and the other with an uncensored version of his stage show. Now that would have been something to buy not to mention historical.

Don Rickles is a king of comedy. His style of humor will be lost when he is gone. He does not tell stories, he insults and audiences have loved him for over 40 years. There are very few who can do what Rickles does and get away with it! His nickname Mr Warmth is known everywhere if you know comedybr /br /However he is also an actor with many TV and film appearances to his credit, everything from X - The Man with the X-Ray Eyes, Beach Party/Bikini Beachto Toy Story Toy Story 2 (2 Pack). This actor did everything from drama to comedy and made you believe.br /br /So the question is Who is the real Don Rickles?br /br /this special film is part of discovering Rickles. The man, the comic , the actor and human being. You see him, before he goes out into show and some of his stage act. Note this is not a concert film of his act, it shows highlights of his act. Other comedians from Richard Lewis to Chris Rock discuss in interviews what makes Rickles a comedian they admire.br /br / You see in film clips from the Tonight Show appearances and Dean Martin roasts, you see the classic insult comic at his best in a medium that showcases his talents. My favorite piece is the Tonight Show's Johnny Carson miffed at Rickles breaking his cigarette box on the previous Tonight Show where he guest hosted, going over Rickles's show which was taping next door and reaming the insult comic out.br /br /Also You see Rickles the actor with interviews from Filmmaker Roger Corman and others. You see interviews and clips showing how he and Ernest Borgnine Rickles did the Odd Couple on stage to how the comic became the voice of Mr. Potato Head br /br /After all is said and done, you have a little more depth of Rickles the man and performer. It is good this was done now. He seems old and frail for 82. This film showcases a major bit player and a major comic legend. In most documentaries you are bored to tears when it is over, I wished this tribute would have lasted longer...I just feel we scratched the surface of the manbr /br /Share the Warmth, get this DVDbr /br /Bennet Pomerantz AUDIOWORLD
