Arguing With Myself, a recorded live performance of ventriloquist Jeff Dunham, portrays a comedian whose revival of an old-fashioned art has made ventriloquism more relevant to modern societal concerns. Starring his six main characters, from Bubba Jay, a Nascar-obsessed hick, to Peanut, a flamboyant gay monkey, Dunham's puppets have dirty but relatively inoffensive senses of humor that mock the American Dream. One can easily see why Jay Leno champions Dunham, as his skits contain a similar sly sarcasm disguised as wholesome teasing aimed at men indebted to their ugly wives, for example, or people who live their lives working in cubicles. At times, though, Dunham's humor seems to lose its ironic distance, especially as he interacts with puppets like Jose Jalapeño, a Cuban chile pepper, or Sweet Daddy D, a Black pimp, both reliant on the antiquated humor once popularized in cartoons by racial caricature. Since the entire audience in the film is white, it is difficult to assess whether or not African-Americans or Latinos would find Dunham funny. In other words, Dunham's humor isn't overtly offensive enough to make fun of ethnic heritage. However, his skills as a ventriloquist alone make him a fascinating entertainer, and anyone interested in how puppetry and ventriloquism has progressed over the decades would benefit from watching Dunham bring life to his wooden friends. --Trinie Dalton

I think that this movie was awesome!!! I laughed almost to the point of crying throughout the whole thing. My son and I love it so much and we've watched it so many times that he now knows it almost by heart!
Rating: - OMG Hillarious!!
This DVD is awesome - Jeff is so funny with those puppets my sides hurt from laughing!! BUT - please be aware that this is ADULTS ONLY despite the puppets, for those of you unfamiliar with Jeff Dunham. My 10 year old saw parts of it when I wasn't home and she was in Daddy's care (grrr... he heard ALL about it too - lol) and I had some explaining to do, but most of the "bad" stuff went over her head thankfully. She loves Peanut and Jose, but I won't let her watch it. Pop this in when the kids aren't around and you're sure to laugh to tears!
