Carrot Top: Rocks Las Vegas [DVD]

Descripción

This fever dream of a Vegas comedy show finds prop-comic Carrot Top surrounded by showgirls, fire-breathing dragons, fog, strobe lighting, and the hysterical love of his fans. The orange-maned CT does bits about flying into Sin City, lost luggage, lost women--the works. It's all good, but his trademark, show-and-tell stuff is more effective: a lunchbox for fat kids (actually five interconnected lunchboxes), a hollow-bellied mannequin that serves as a buffet buddy, an expanding-contracting bra designed for Britney Spears, and tiny luggage suitable for tight storage. Penn and Teller make a cameo appearance during a humiliating dream sequence, but there's plenty of embarrassment to spread around as Carrot Top does his prop-heavy impressions of Kate Winslet, Tom Petty, Steven Tyler, and numerous other notables. The show has been heavily embellished, in a post-production sense, for home viewing, including weird (and sometimes annoying) drawings and film inserts. Not necessary, but not a problem either. --Tom Keogh
