5.0 out of 5 stars Hilarious & Thought Provoking!, October 7, 1999

By A Customer

I am a Whoopi Goldberg fan from way back. I enjoyed her previous video Whoopi: Live On Broadway in which she introduces us to a host of characters, one of them Fontaine. To see her take Fontaine to the next level, clean and sober, with a whole new take on life is truly brilliant. I'm glad I had the chance to see it. Once again Whoopi has done it. She always manages to make you laugh and make you think at the same time.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must-see for all Whoopie and stand-up fans, February 12, 1999

By A Customer

Reagan's in the whitehouse, Jimmy-the-Greek has just said some 'not so PC' things on national television and Fontaine [a character of Ms. Goldbergs who is an admitted thief/junkie with a P.h.D. in literature] has just gotten out of the Betty Ford Clinic and is looking at the world through 'straight' eyes for the first time in a long time. And BOY does he have something to say--all of it funny and profound. A great reminder of why Ms. Goldberg got to where she is in show biz.

5.0 out of 5 stars Without a doubt - the best of the best, November 3, 1999

By	Debbie Ayers (Florida) - See all my reviews

Whoopie is just "Whoopie" - tells it like it is, means it, lives by it, emulates it, and shares it through her comedic excellence. This particular video is Whoopie at her best, passing on her wisdom through the eyes of a "true" American, the real America we all live in. Don't miss it.
