Dave Chappelle's Block Party - Patti

Before he went AWOL, Dave Chappelle decided to throw a lil' party in Brooklyn. This is part concert film, part documentary, part sketch-comedy. Anytime you have Dave, you know you are going to have a good time.

There are performances by some of hip-hop's biggest names, such as Kanye West, Mos Def, Dead Prez, and Erykah Badu. Even if this is not your style of music, the movie's momentum makes you want to get up and dance.

There are some wacky interviews....the ones of the couple who live in the renovated church were our favorites! Did I mention the marching band? Dave invited them while he was passing out free tickets to random folks in his hometown in Ohio.

This movie has something for everyone. No matter how you look at it, Block Party was just plain entertaining from start to finish.

VERDICT
WHO FELL ASLEEP: neither
WHO RECOMMENDS IT: both
BUY/RENT/SKIP: rent (buy, if you're a die-hard Chappelle fan)
