Description:
This is a feature-length documentary of David Cross's entire North American comedy tour. This IS NOT a concert film.
Amazon.com:
Let America Laugh is an intermittently entertaining, fly-on-the-wall DVD sidebar to David Cross's live comedy CD from Sub Pop, Shut Up, You F**king Baby! Shot on a low-tech, digital camcorder, Let America Laugh captures the ups and downs (mostly downs) of Cross's 2002 tour of North American clubs. Notable sequences find the Mr. Show star jerking around a rude and uncooperative Nashville club owner, attending a wee-hours party at a Memphis video store (it looks exactly as one might imagine), surviving a double booking in Vancouver, and shooting fireworks from a Minneapolis playground. Much of this looks like concert-tour hell, but there are highlights, too: A stop at Experience Music Project in Seattle, a funny encounter with Cross's comic partner, Bob Odenkirk, in a Los Angeles store, and a relaxed, hometown show in Atlanta. There are bits and pieces of routines here, but this DVD is more travelogue than showcase. --Tom Keogh

Hey,
Its not that David Cross isn't funny but watching this DVD is an exercise in frustration as every time you catch a bit from his show it takes you on a doco tangent.
I thought I was and would still be willing to buy something which just lets me see the show
Rating:  - Please do let America laugh
Words cannot describe how awful and unfunny this DVD is. There is very little stand up in this video--it's mostly a documentary that follows Cross around to po-dunk clubs where people heckle him and then Cross sort of ridicules the hecklers but not in a funny way.
I am astounded that this was not only conceived of, but then executed, produced, and sold. This DVD's mere existence demonstrates Mr. Cross's utter contempt for his audience, as well as a sense of self importance that might make even Kanye West blush. If I could give this DVD negative stars, I would.
Rating:  - This movie is great!
I personally don't understand what all the bad reviews have been about. Maybe they're from people who can't comprehend the level of David's genius. Whether you're tired of our current administration, religion, racism, or just plain ignorant people. Cross' comedy will make you fall on the floor laughing. He manages to be ridiculously commical, while insightful at the same time. It's like listening to Gello Biafra combined with Jerry Seinfeld. I would definatly recommend this purchase. Also, "The Pride is Back," and his DVD "Let America Laugh" are really good too. Personally, I'm not that fond of "Shut up you F*ing baby" though.

Great Documentary! This is not just his stand up. This is more about Cross traveling the country and interacting with people. Its rednecks and tools haggling him at his own shows and how he handles them. If you like cross than you need to buy this, you will not be disapointed. I promise you that. until a dvd comes out of his live shows this is the next best. If you don't like DAvid Cross, go read a bible!
Rating: - Mean Spirited
Don't get me wrong. Stand Up comics and Stand Up comedy crowds are some of the creepiest, and weird groups of people in the world, but this DVD just seems to come across as mean. It's like making fun of very hospitable retarded people, or laughing at my grandmother because she doesn't know who played guitar in the Dead Kennedys.
David and his group come across as cliquey jerks laughing at misguided, but ultimately harmless, and often times actually kind of nice, people.
