Review.

With Jimmy Kimmel hosting you knew this would break down into one long sexual innuendo. This roast doesnâ??t fail to make you laugh as it is vulgarity at its best and everyone on stage is a target. When you have such targets as Andy Dick, Courtney Love, Bea Arthur and Dennis Rodman you know the jokes are going to be funny as the targets are so good. This film spaces out the funny comedians with the people trying to be funny so for the most part it is entertaining right through the entire roast. The good were roast favorites Nick DiPaolo, Greg Giraldo, Lisa Lampanelli and Jeffrey Ross who had the funniest line of the whole roast in â?? how is it possible that Courtney Love looks worse then Kurt Cobain?â?? which had me in tears. The bad are the people trying to be funny like Tommy Lee and Courtney Love. The roast also suffers from slow bits and I could have done without Tommy Lee singing as that is not what anyone who watches a roast is looking for. All in all this is a truly funny roast and one worth checking out. I recommend this roast to anyone who likes vulgarity as nothing is sacred.

T Factor + If you like Tommy Lee this could score higher on the rating scale.

T Factor â?? Do not like crass humor then this could score lower on the rating scale.

If you liked this roast some recommendations: Roast of William Shatner, or Roast of Dennis Leary.
