Tagline: The world's favorite comedian!
Plot: Celebrities spend the first half of this video talking about what makes comedian Billy Connolly special, intermittent with clips of Connolly from films, stand-up and interviews. What follows is a stand-up concert from Connolly.
My rating: 7.5/10
Will I watch it again? Maybe.
I've been a fan of Connolly since I first saw him. He's so likable and his sense of wonder and enthusiasm is contagious. I popped this disc in expecting to see a concert film but instead there are lots of people I really dig talking about how great Connolly is but the best part is seeing vintage clips of Connolly as well as interviews and whatnot. It's fun but I was a bit disappointed because I really wanted to see him doing his thing without other people getting in the way. Less than halfway through Connolly is don't some stand-up and the people have stopped talking about him and it ends up being a concert special after all. So you really get a lot more than you'd normally get with a stand-up special. It's great. The Delta DVD presents the film in fullscreen and there are no extras.
