 Share the Warmth January 24, 2008
16 out of 18 found this review helpful
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
John Landis on Rickles January 22, 2008
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
As a kid growing up in the 70s, I loved Don Rickles. I always tried to stay up to see him on The Tonight Show, and I caught his act several times in Vegas and on Miami Beach. I even had a "Cracked" magazine devoted to him, which came out around the time of CPO Sharkey.br /br /This is a loving tribute by steady hand John Landis, and places Don's humor, love, and affection in context by taking the viewer through the times in which Rickles worked. Vegas, Miami Beach, the mob, Frankie, Johnny, great interview segments with close friend Bob Newhart and many others, this is a heartwarming and very affectionate tribute to a great comic and great show biz legend.
Mr. Warmth is Great January 17, 2008

I saw Mr. Warmth on HBO and I loved it. It is a great documentary on one of the all time great comedians - Don Rickles. Hilarious highlights of his stage show, his appearances on the Dean Martin comedy roasts and appearances on the Johnny Carson show. Also, many do not realize that Don Rickles is a good actor - some scenes from some of his movies such as Kelly's heroes and Run Silent, Run Deep. I found this to be very entertaining and enjoyable.
You must watch this documentary! December 29, 2007

 Off Course December 19, 2007

I watched this program on HBO. While there were some funny moments, I felt director John Landis lost the documentary's focus. The program became less a tribute to Don Rickles and his impact on comedy and more a history of Las Vegas and a tribute to the way gangsters ran the city. br /br /I also thought there were some glaring omissions in the choice of film clips that were shown: There was no footage from the special, expanded segment of Mr. Rickles' appearance on "The Dean Martin Show," in which a star-studded audience was assembled for him to insult; there were no clips from "CPO Sharkey," the only TV series Don Rickles starred in that made it to a 2nd season; and there was no clip of the famous segment from "The Tonight Show" in which Mr. Rickles walked onto the program while Johnny Carson was in a Japanese bath.
