simply the best

America's Mexican is simply the best performance George Lopez has had. To have an HBO special is big and only talented and funny performers like Mr. Lopez deserve to be there. I recommend this DVD to everyone, you won't be dissapointed.

Solid entry in ethnic standup

Like Carlos Mencia, Mr. Lopez mines ethnic stereotypes not just of Mexicans (Mariachi music, illegal immigration, drinking, crime) but also of mostly-hypothetical WASPs (BlackBerries, Bluetooths, feng shui, Starbucks). There's plenty of jokes about how Mexicans do all the dirty work Americans supposedly won't do ("Do you know who's rebuilding New Orleans? FEMA - Find Every Mexican Available").But Mr. Lopez actually shows pretty good range -- it's not just jokes based on ethnic stereotypes, but also matters as diverse as hirsute grooming, family problems and growing up poor. He's actually funniest when he talks about the differences between his childhood and children growing up today: "Do you know what our `Lunchables' was? Two weenies on a fork, over a stove!" Overall, he has a few laugh out loud moments and is worth the time to watch, if not to purchase.

White and Hispanics Will Wet pants with laughter!

In this Funny "because it's true" style Comedy, the laughter starts as soon as the show begins! George does not hold back on this one, with his comedic take on the Latino and White Culture ways of doing things. His hillariouse political non sense views on Pres. Bush, "FTP" and Gov. Arnold Schwartzanager, are a MUST SEE! Top it all off with those Certain family memembers we all know we have, from the worn out Aunt who's still wearing them disco thongs, to Grandma's Dimensia! All in all if you're looking for a good laugh, George Lopez's America's Mexican is Gauranteed to Deliver!!!

Lackluster compared to George Lopez' "why you crying" show.

I was so eager to see this new stand up show because his other stand upshow, "Why you crying" was excellent and contained non-stop laughterfor the audience. Which is why I was so disappointed when I saw the newone. "America's Mexican" was distasteful and well, not funny at all. Infact, some of the jokes were disgusting frankly. Like the part where hespeaks about his old grandma assuming the praying position and hepretends to pork her. Ugghhh! that sent nasty images in my head.Overall, the show never got better, even though there were some goodjokes here and there.Of course, I still love the guy though. I'll always consider his firststand up(s) classic.

very vulgar and offensive

I wonder why this is not rated when it should be rated R. He hardly says one sentence without a four letter word. Why comedians think that makes their material funny is beyond me. I never would have bought it had I known the language he would use all the way through. If I wanted to hear language like that I would go to the ghetto or a bar.I wasted my money as I cannot even share it with my family.

Racist, profane, anti-white political diatribe. Save your money.

My wife and I are (O.K., were) George Lopez fans, but we were sorely disappointed in this presentation. He started off basically soiling himself with excitement that Sotomayor had been appointed to the Supreme Court. Just because she's Hispanic, not because it was a well-advised decision (because it certainly wasn't). He then launched into a racist pro-Latino, anti-white dialogue for several minutes, at which point my wife said, "Is this going to get any better?" and I replied, "I sure hope so."Alas, improvement was not in the cards. With gratuitous use of obscenities, Mr. Lopez proceeded through several minutes of simulated masturbation and simulated farting before presenting his "views" on feminine hygiene products. Then, predictably, came the Bush bashing. We exercised the "off" switch.Life is too short to listen to a profane political ignoramus trying to advance his views, even if he had chosen the correct forum -- which he clearly hadn't.

Simply hilarious

I rented this DVD and I found that after I returned it I could not stop thinking about the well done and hilarious skits Lopez did. I bought this DVD so I could watch it over and over because that is how extremely entertaining Lopez is in this comedy special. I have a great time every time I watch this DVD and I would recommend anyone above 18 to buy this DVD.

Hilarious!!!

This is his best one yet! It is not for the younger ones to watch, though any adult that knows a true Mexican family will laugh to the point of tears! Highly recommended for those not easily offended.

Always hilarious

No this is NOT the George from the sitcom. You'd think people would know what to expect from this guy in his stand up acts anyway. Bottom line, this is hilariously FUNNY. George is one of the best and hopefully his next live HBO show (which I'll be seeing in person) will be as great as everything else he does.

The guy is just funny

You really can't say anything else. He's a true talent. His observational humor and pokes at his family and upbringing are hilarious. I just watched his new HBO special and it's just as good. I also noticed that the same guy directed both shows and he's got a website w/ some clips marty [...]. check it out. anyhow if you have seen either one you should def check out the other

Racism toward white people....not like Lopez

I love George Lopez and every stand up comedy he has ever done up to this one. I have to admit, I was a little offended. He really talked down on white people. I am white and am not prejudice whatsoever, but I really didn't care for this comedy this time. Other than the racist comments, it was awesome.

You are America's Mexica

As a Mexican American myself I thought this was some of his BEST work. His views from politics (FTP) to family life had us all cracking up from the beginning. If you like his TV show you'll love this from the moment it starts until the end. Even the deleted scenes were good. LMAO

J. Martinez Cent Cal

First off I'm Hispanic and I loved "Why you Crying", even my mom who speaks little english found it funny. Secondly I find good raunchy comedy hilarious, but in this installment of his stand up gig he fails. There is a sense of bigotry in this one, I don't know what he's trying to prove here. He glorifies stereotypes that Hispanics activists denounce. Yes it's stand up comedy and he can say what he wants, but if you want to hear something like a Mexican will wipe his butt with the hamburger and serve it to you because you're white, then you might like it. Unfortunately I'm the small percentage of Hispanics who really want equality. I'm a realistic Hispanic

Believe the Reviews

We usually enjoy the jokes and sense of humor of George Lopez but not this time. We were not offended by any part of it but did not have the gut-busting laughs he usually provides.

Funny stuff.

This review is from: George Lopez - America's Mexican (DVD) George is always good. I watched this and then watched Gabriel Inglesias"Hot and Fluffy". It made me laugh even harder when I watched it the second time.Funny Stuff!

You Will Watch This Over and Over!

The biggest compliment I can give Mr. Lopez is that we enjoy this one hour special virtually every time we have a guest over for watching FTP's, errrrr DVD's! Anyone who wants an honest look at George's childhood and adult experiences will definitely find this a riot. He talks about all the crazy and ironic stuff from a typical and traditional Mexican American family! There are some big differences in the way different cultures think . . . and George is great at nailing the visual images in this regard! Absolutely no fluff . . . and never a dull moment!! One bit of caution: A person may be offended if they happen to disagree that George W. and Arnold are the largest of Putos!

What happened George

My husband and I love his last stand up but this one wasn't very funny, it was just crude.

Funny enterainment

I know not everyone likes George Lopez, but he has a great ability for taking everyday events and make them funny. We should all be able to laugh at our differences.

Excellent

This is terrific! I am a big fan of George Lopez, have attended his comedy shows and own several DVD's. However, this is the best. He talks about everything from politics, to religion to family and beyond. He talks about being true to who you are and not giving in to the pressures of society. Great show!!!
