DVD Artie Lange - It's the Whiskey Talking
As this fearless 47-minute set amply demonstrates, Artie Lange is not your typical observational comic that goes for the universal experience. "You know when you are [defecating] in the woods…and you're on heroin?" is a representative query. Lange, who appeared on Madtv before holding court as a core ensemble member on Howard Stern's radio show, clearly has issues, and free from FCC-mandated restrictions, he riffs through them all in graphic and profane detail. Lange is at his best when tackling his vices (drinking, drugs, gambling), his lackluster movie career (he refunds one audience member's $10 when he offers a Dirty WorkDVD for Lange to sign), and phobias. In a politically correct world. Lange asks, "Can't we be offensive anymore?" Short answer: Yes, he can, as witness his hysterical bit on Sesame Street's inclusion of an AIDS-diagnosed character to the Muppet ensemble ("Here's Grover with today's letters: H-I-V"), and his hilarious homophobic spin on a Foghorn Leghorn cartoon. Lange is a raging bull onstage, but with his unshaven countenance and his rumpled jacket and jeans, he suggests another Robert De Niro character; Travis Bickle gone to seed. Put him in the driver's seat for Taxi Driver 2. --Donald Liebenson
Review(s): DVD Artie Lange - It's the Whiskey Talking
Vintage Artie
If you love Artie Lange, you will LOVE this DVD. Artie is at his best. Buy it, you will not regret it.
Mostly for Howard fans
I gotta admit, if I didn't know Artie from the Howard Stern show, I probably wouldn't like this as much as I do. But hearing Artie every day for the last five years, this pretty much exemplifies his greatest quality- being able to tell a funny story about his life.
He's not the best comedian around... not by a long shot... But he's a damn funny guy, and he is very open with himself- almost too open, like a flesh wound that you can't take your eyes off of sometimes.
I haven't watched the special features yet, but the standup video itself is easily worth the nine bucks that Amazon is asking for, especially if you already a fan of the guy.
Horrible
I wasted a spot in my Netflix queue and my time to watch this. Thank god I never went to the Tempe Improv to seee Artie, he's horribly unfunny.

It seems people either think this movie is the greatest or the absolute worst. Well I think it's somewhere in the middle. I'm a huge Artie fan but I'm not above saying if his work sucks. I've heard people say this movie is loaded with hilarious joke after joke....what movie they were watching I have no idea, but it wasn't Beer League.
I laughed probably a dozen times, but most of the dialogue and "jokes" in the movie just weren't any good. I think Artie can be hilarious in his stand-up and on Stern, but in this movie he seems to think if you surround a bad joke with five F-bombs and A-holes it makes it funny...it doesn't. Making matters worse they cover the same jokes repeatedly. How many times can they try to make a Guido joke funny? Watch the R rated trailer and...

Give credit to director Betty Thomas for making the notorious Howard Stern, self-proclaimed "king of all media," into a nerdish but appealing media rebel who loves his wife and family. Even if you hate Stern's rude radio show, you may discover that the underdog charm of this warm, whimsical film (based on Stern's autobiography) turns you into a fan--for the length of the film at least. Stern delivers a winning performance as the clumsy college kid and aspiring disc-jockey-turned-demon-shock-jock, who becomes an unlikely hero as he battles station managers, network executives, and conservative "arbiters of decency" in the name of unfettered bad taste. Mary McCormack is fine as his understanding wife, Alison, and longtime Stern sidekicks Robin Quivers and Fred Norris acquit themselves...
