Rob Schneider: Soy Sauce and the Holocaust (2013)
"SNL" alum Rob Schneider takes to the stage (as himself) to examine the bizarre nature of fame, the woes of aging and the virtue of sweatpants. Known for his off-the-wall characters, Schneider opens up about his own life, which can be equally zany.

Waste of time
Too much of everything
Absolutely brilliant
A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
This was the first time I saw Rob Schneider perform stand-up comedy.Rob Schneider does have some pretty nice jokes, and there were some fairly good laughs throughout the course of this performance. However, he seemed as if Schneider wasn't really fully there in spirit and was lacking energy and enthusiasm to go through with the routine. And that ultimately did seep into his overall performance. If he had been more in the moment and in the present, this show would have been much more enjoyable.After having seen "Rob Schneider: Soy Sauce and the Holocaust", I think that I will just stick to watching his regular movies, because this stand-up act wasn't particularly exciting.
I have always been mixed on Rob Schneider's comedy. As much as I loved him on Saturday Night Live, his post-TV movie career has been questionable. Some things seem to work (like "Deuce Bigalow"), while others are pretty weak. The stand-up is better than average.First of all, he does really good impressions and voices, and starts off explaining the difference between the 20s and 40s. He was 48 when this show was recorded, so he may soon have to modify this. As someone who has noticed the differences between the 20s and 30s, I could relate.He discusses parenting, briefly. I am glad it was only brief, because this is one thing I really dislike about comedians. I do not want to hear about your kids. I generally do not like even hearing stand-up about relationships, because the same jokes get told by everyone.Some bits were especially good, particularly the rip on ads for unwanted gold, and noting that obesity is worse than terrorism. I thought the "Hoarders" bit was good, though I have not actually seen the show.
