Synopsis

Ellen DeGeneres has done everything, from starring in hit sitcoms and movies, to writing best-selling books, to having her own new talk show, 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 anyone can identify with, be it the obligatory gay joke, procrastination, fashion, public cell phone use, airline etiquette, or self-esteem.

Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
Adeel Hail Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.
cbfr-1 Ellen I would love to bein your show some day but of course can't afford it. I have a handicapped daughter and I am on total disability soooo if you ever give out plane tickets please keep us in mind. You are such a hoot and I love the real you on TV. Would love meeting you. By the way if you have a size cow I would love getting a signed t-short. God Bless you and yours. 731-336-2747/ :ove ya Lynda Birch from TNI used to be a stand up comedian but no-one could see me. HaHaIt is so sad my teeth go ot more than I do.I am sueing the city for making the sidewalks so close to my rear.Pretty bad when the airlines makes me where a heavy sign and send me Air Cargo
Mason1024 In sharp contrast to most reviews here, the "Ellen DeGeneres: Here and Now" disc that I rented was marginally funny at best. While Ellen's general style is right in the vein of good comedy, her observations in this performance just lack an edge... maybe an absurdity or exaggeration that makes all the difference between you or me talking about, say, airport security shenanigans and a professional comedian addressing the same subject. This was no funnier than discussing the same topics with regular people--a few good laughs, but that's about it. Oftentimes she'd make an observation and I would wait expectantly for the joke that puts it in hilarious perspective, only to find her moving along to the next lukewarm observation. Hopefully her other material is of better caliber. As a health warning, if you thought this DVD was truly hilarious, you may want to stay away from comics like Bill Hicks, Eddie Izzard, Richard Pryor, Chris Rock, Dave Chappelle, Mitch Hedburg or countless others who might be funny enough to actually kill you.
jmbwithcats Ellen DeGenerous takes us on a tour of the American Dream, from the home, to the office, to the local bar, to the airport, even to our pets at home. Ellen is witty, funny, easy to empathize with the human condition, with her finger on the pulse. I laughed straight through this HBO special, and didn't want it to end. Cute, sassy, and satirical, Ellen romps through the social hierarchy of woes, trials and tribulations -- sharing the tidbits, embarrassments, we all can relate with in signature Ellen fashion. I've seen this special several times now, and am alway impressed at how fresh, and light, and just how damn funny Ellen is.I saw her in Finding Nemo, and she was remarkably hysterical, with her signature uncertain innocence, and sharp intuitive spirit.
HeartMonger I swear I have never laughed harder at something so truthfully spoken. Ellen DeGeneres has proved once again that she can speak for alot of people(male and female, gay and straight)on life's tortures and pleasures. The especially funny part is when she speaks about Car Windows. This is a piece of comedy gem that should not go unwatched by anyone who wants to laugh! Truly original. Don't miss it!
