Eddie Griffin - Dysfunktional Family (2003)


"Dysfunktional Family is an American documentary and stand-up comedy film written, produced and starring comedian Eddie Griffin. Dysfunktional Family is mainly a concert performance featuring Eddie Griffin filmed live at the Star Plaza Theatre in Merrillville, Indiana that also includes behind-the-scenes documentary footage filmed in Kansas City, Missouri detailing the stand-up comedian's personal life and family as he travels to a family reunion." - Wikipedia

"Documentary on comedian Eddie Griffin who heads back home to a family reunion, which includes two uncles - one a porn director and the other an ex-pimp." - IMDb

"There is a blueprint here for what should be the next wave of comedy-concert movies, but the filmmaking team has only used part of it." - The New York Times

"The comic stylings of actor/stand-up Eddie Griffin are recorded for bigscreen posterity in "Eddie Griffin: Dysfunktional Family," a crude and crudely made hybrid that combines performance footage of Griffin with docu segments showing the comic at home with family and friends. Returns should be minor for this Dimension entry." - Variety
