A good deal of the fun in this documentary, as we follow Chappelle from his Ohio retreat to Brooklyn, is to see how fully he's got his wits about him.

God Bless Americash

Hittin' the Entrails
Though the most dogged of gorehounds may find the film's uncynical conclusion hard to stomach, it suggests the film has some purpose besides being the most sickening morning-after movie ever -- perhaps even a timely one.
