George Lopez: Tall, Dark & Chicano (2009)



http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1508274/

George Lopez, sometimes billed as "America's Mexican" has become a familiar figure on the popular culture scene, so familiar, perhaps, that his presence has bred a certain level of contempt. This show, filmed at a time his talk show was still running, no doubt suffered a certain level of competition with himself, as he cannibalized several of his routines here from the show.

But put Mr. Lopez in front of a large, enthusiastic audience, and he shows a level of passion and energy that is not usually visible on the TV screen. As he ranges over his usual issues of ethnic conflict, from the Sotomayer confirmation hearings that had just concluded to the right way to pronounce 'tortilla', he is everything a stand-up comic should be. The result is a most enjoyable show.
