Not worth it!
by N. Landers (Gillette WY)
My daughter loves Stephen Colbert, so I bought this as a stocking stuffer. Once you have seen it, that is enough! I wouldn't spend the $ to own it! We found it somewhat offensive to our Christain beliefs! We still like HIM, we just wouldn't recommend THIS product!
5/5
Where to begin?!
by M. Trudell (Omaha, NE)
Where do I even begin describing how hilarious and just sublimely ridiculous this special is? The songs are hilarious, my favorite being the Channukah song with Jon Stewart. I love that mistletoe bit, especially with the bear. It's sharp and witty, of course- nothing less would ever be expected from Stephen Colbert or accepted by his fans. It's a great alternative to some of the sugary sweet Christmas specials out there. For the more protective parents out there, I'd probably recommend pre-screening it before deciding if you want your older kids/teens watching it, because there are references to drugs and sex and whatnot.
3/5
Not what I expected
by Reenee (Nevada, USA)
This special is not what I or my son, a gift because he likes Colbert, expected. It has some very funny spots and the guests are cool, but overall the DVD is kind of dumb. We decided we would put it with the Christmas DVDs and watch it once a year for a reminder.
If you like Stephen Colbert, you'll still think this is goofy and not all that cute or Christmasy...
1/5
Worst of Colbert
by Christopher Smith
My family and I are huge fans of the Colbert Report. I purchased this for my mother and we all watched. We were flabbergasted at how horrible this show was. It was definitely not up to Colbert's usual standards.
3/5
Not Stephen Colbert's best work
by Carolee Noury (Rockville MD United States)
I am a huge Colbert fan, but this special was not worth buying- I doubt I'll watch it more than one.
A Colbert Christmas: The Greatest Gift of All Summary
Studio: Paramount Home Video Release Date: 11/19/2008
Self-proclaimed as "the greatest newsman-hosted holiday special since `A Walter Cronkite Tet Offensive,'" this fine, foolish and sentimental musical special is better than an Oreo with a cookie in the middle. `Tis not the season to be bloviating. It's a kinder, gentler Stephen Colbert, of Comedy Central's
The Colbert Report
, clad in homey blue jeans, red turtleneck and a (basic) cable-knit cardigan who welcomes viewers to his mountain cabin. Will a marauding bear at his doorstep prevent him from getting to his New York studio to film his Christmas special? It certainly doesn't prevent inexplicable celebrity drop-ins by country music superstar Toby Keith, country music legend Willie Nelson, indie folk darling Feist and even "ageless icon of generosity and joy Santa Claus (George Wendt)." It's all merrily "cheesy, crass and a commercial travesty" in the time-honored tradition of network holiday specials, and Colbert delivers with a smile, a song, and the Jonas brothers falling through ice to their dooms (mercifully offscreen). The closest
A Colbert Christmas
gets to a political statement is Keith's rowdy anthem that takes aim at the "atheists and judges" who have declared "war on Christmas." The rest is mostly inspired holiday jeer. Highlights include the opening meta showstopper, "Another Christmas Song," and Jon Stewart's charmingly hesitant ode to Hanukkah ("a sensible alternative to Christmas"). Less appropriate for young ones are Fourth Wise Man Willie Nelson's ode to the "wonder weed" he gifts to Baby Jesus, and John Lennon's randy celebration of, um, nutmeg. With such DVD extra features as three mock-alternate endings (the best echoes the classic
Twilight Zone
episode, "Time Enough at Last"), a bonus Christmas song (a country-style weeper, "Cold Cold Christmas"), an onscreen live-action advent calendar (a daily Colbert greeting), and even a books-roasting-on-an-open-fire Yule log,
A Colbert Christmas
is the gift that will keep on giving for seasons to come.
