Most helpful review Dave Chappelle'S Block Party

  • HIP-HOP AT THE TOP!

    Rated - 4.0 stars  
    By GARRY MCCAFFERTY from Scotland , 27 Oct 2006

    [Highly rated reviewer]

    Being a fan of Chappelle I rented this thinking it was a film version of his TV show, I was wrong. Instead what I found was a musical docu-film kinda thing. I was surprised to find the film highly entertaining even though it was a hip-hop gig and I can't say I'm the biggest fan, but as a music lover it was excellent, especially the performances in the second half of the film.

    So, if you’re a hip-hop fan - Rent this! If you’re a live concert fan - Rent this! , But if your looking for a Comedy - Don't Bother!

  • NOT a poor cousin to Rize

    Rated - 4.0 stars

    This is a fantastic heartwarming documentary about a celebrity who wants to put something back into a community.

    It was not by David LaChapelle the photographer who did 'Rize' (which is also a brilliant doc) It is David Chapelle the comedian who has a love of Hip Hop and great music. Hip Hop as a culture has been raped over the last 10 years and documentaries like these are invaluable to keep the true meaning of it alive.

    great film for fans of Dave Chapelle before he went AWOL. A great, funny, spontaneous, heart-felt event that Dave put together. It had the feel of being, basically, the most star-studded block part anyone could have dreamed up.

  • Poor cousin to Rize

    Rated - 1.0 star  
    By a customer from London , 13 Feb 2009
    Was really impressed with Rize, Chappelle's other documentary - it had a message and was cool and involving. Block party doesn't really seem to be other than a lazily shot diary of how he organises what looks to be a pretty poor block party. There are no good sequences of the acts which was disappointing considering the big names that attended.
