Ellen DeGeneres - The Beginning (2000)


"The smart, sassy actress/comedienne's third solo HBO special features material taped in front of a live audience at NYC's Beacon Theater. In this show, Ellen makes her triumphant return to the irreverent, irresistible humor that launched her career." - IMDb

"DeGeneres' genius for squaring circles, combining TV-host warmth with a cynic's eye, allows her to highlight our, and her own, contradictions perfectly." - The Guardian

"The best of her comedy comes from her ability to be simply weird. It's not usual for a female comic to pull out the odd things Degeneres does, like jokes about monkeys and yogurt, but combined with the more pedestrian parts of her act, they make for a good time that anyone can enjoy, as she's back to her clean, easily accessible comedy." - DVD Talk

"Right up front, Ellen has to deal with what everybody wants to talk about. She handles this in a funny and unique way; saying she wouldn't talk about it, but would instead say it through interpretive dance." - DVD Verdict
