Review: Bernie Mac was one funny sonuvabitch. This guy proved himself on stage, on tv and in the movies (ie: the Oceans 11 franchise). His comedy reached all classes, races and peoples. This new DVD tribute is in honor of Mac and his untimely death. The DVD features early and rare performances, tv stand-up performances and more, as well as commentary on Mac as a person and a comedian by some of the best names in the business. This is a great way to remember Bernie and a must-have for any comedy fan.
