ComingSoon's Gilbert Blu-ray review takes a look at the Gilbert Gottfried docuemntary's home release, which gives a new look at the comedian.
It’s been a rough stretch in the comedy world over the past several years as several legendary comedians have passed away. However, Gilbert Gottfried’sas the New York native had been a part of so many people’s childhoods thanks to his iconic voice roles in Aladdin, Superman, and other animated series. While best known for his controversial humor, Gottfried was a loving father and family man.
“Gilbert Gottfried rose to fame in the 1980s thanks to his brash stand-up act and personality. Now, after decades of flying solo in both his work and in his personal life, Gilbert has shockingly reinvented himself as a family man,” reads the synopsis for the documentary. Gottfried rarely peeled back the curtain into his personal life, which makes the access that Gilbert got really special. We see some wonderful scenes with his lovely wife Dana, his older sister, and his two young children. It’s so wonderful to see what a loving father the comedian was and how gentle he could be with them.
Director Neil Berkeley does a great job of balancing a look at both Gottfried’s personal and professional lives, giving a great overview of both. Career-wise, it really underlines how important Gottfried was to comedy as he was never afraid to demonstrate that nothing was off limits in the world of comedy, which is something that is more relevant than ever before. There are some great scenes from his podcast as well, including a discussion about aging with Dick Van Dyke.
