Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Rickles for President
This man has cracked up generations of audiences, his humour is not so much acidic as `to the point' or right on the button funny. A slick production, a peak into the legends life, even the outtakes are hilarious ...Jules Verdel (?) Anthony Quin and even the fight for the best cabin....informative and heartfelt....some very funny stuff here, recommended




Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - I expected more from John Landis
From the man who brought us genius-level funny, this is luke-warm at best. As a document of the enduring hilarity of a classic vitriolic comedian - who still breaks me up - this DVD set (2 discs that could've been combined into one) feels like feeding pablum to a doddering old fossil. Don Rickles still has it, but the only evidence on this tribute are several clips from his live show, where he runs around the audience repeating the same line, with a few scattered mild putdowns & insults.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - This will snap you out of your depression
"Mr Warmth:The Don Rickles project" is the only pill I need to snap me out of any depression I'm having during the last days of the Bush years.
This DVD brings back the great days of Vegas,and all the wonderfull comedians that have gone. I LOVE the Vegas act the most,and the great line,Sir,is that you wife?Jes..Ch... Rickles is the BEST,and could get away with murder.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - mr warmth with Don Rickles
absolutely the greatest of all comedians even of today. These guys today could really take some lessons from this guy. Very very funny.
Greatest comedian reflecting back to the rat packers. Couldn't stop laughing at an age where you go away, he never does. Recommend this to everyone who wishes and does a comic stand up needs to listen to this guy, who uses no ethnic nor bad humor. A class act. Comedians could use this as a training tool.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - I'm so glad he is still around!
You can't go wrong with this. Thanks John Landis for a project from your heart. One of my favorite all time comedians with a style unlike any other. There is a lot of sentimentality in this, and being a Vegas resident for 35 years, I can tell you that the mob had people skills far beyond the MBA corporate punks today that only look at the bottom line. I miss those days.(I'm in my 40's, not a senior yet!) This is a priceless piece of history, and thanks Mr. Landis for putting this together before he's ... Read More
