I'm not sure when I last saw Dane Cook, be it a stand up or movie/tv project, but its been a while. So, we've aged, lost some of that youthful gusto, physical comedy and perhaps lost touch with our demographic a bit.
In this special, Dane has set up a gathering in his backyard. It's a modern setting in which he is trying to go for a very comfortable, laid back environment. However, it seemed a strange venue. What we see of his home was nice though.
He discusses an encounter with a stalker, his much younger girlfriend and performing one of his earlier gigs. It was chucklesome but it's not Vicious Circle. I don't want to say it was bad because I didn't think it was awful but it felt like watching "dad jokes" attempting to be current and falling short.
I like Dane Cook. I hate this wasn't better. I REALLY wanted it to be because I think he's a funny guy. This isn't his best work. However, as I said, it was chucklesome. If you're okay with that, check it out but don't expect to be rolling with laughter.
