Overview: Dave Chappelle's Block Party spotlights comedy superstar Dave Chappelle as he presents a Brooklyn neighborhood with its very own once-in-a-lifetime free block party.

There’s a reason why there aren’t that many concert movies: there are no advantages to showing them on the big screen. This movie is no exception. There is nothing especially funny, touching, surprising, or new about this movie. On the balance, this movie was a disappointment. Dave’s comedy is limited, and unless the music by itself moves you, there’s not much else to enjoy. Wait for the rental.

Many opportunities for more humor were missed. In particular, Dave’s visit to a school should yield many funny lines with the little kids (aren’t kids always funny?) but even here that visit was limited to one funny line.

Priceless Scene: Lauryn Hill and the Fugees reunion when they do Killing me Softly was especially nice.
