Pretty Good
Powerful
The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
If you are familiar with his work I guarantee you will love Sripped. From the Romans to the Greeks, and from evolution to Opera, Eddie works his comedy with dialogue, monologue and pantomime. Dressed as a gentleman this time, he is active, energetic, and it seems as if he hasn't aged a day since Sexie. Stripped opens up with London as it moves to cake to opera to dinosaurs, through different ages in history, ancient languages, religions, each with excellent ,brilliantly, written and acted situations involving one to many characters and animals as well. Eddie is well known for his pantomime, gestures, and it's not absent here. Almost all segments involve small scenes which are enacted with great proficiency and magnificently voiced, with sound effects no less. Stripped is great for a comedy night and an instant classic to watch over and over.
