It’s Fluffy!
Gabriel Iglesias: The Fluffy Movie is available on Blu-ray and DVD today from Universal Home Entertainment!
I’ve been a fan of Iglesias’ comedy since 2011, and in my honest opinion, he remains one of my favorite comedians working today. It’s hard to resist his lovable personality, he has something of a gravitational pull, and I love it.
In the vein of stand-up comedy film classics like Eddie Murphy: Raw, Gabriel Iglesias brings his trademark comedy style to the big screen. As a critic, this is actually a very hard “film” to review. Stand-up concert films are created solely for the fans of the performer to enjoy. Nothing more. The fans are who will pay to see it, non-fans will skip it. No harm done. But of course, in this case, I will speak as a fan. The Fluffy Movie is very funny, but certainly not as gut-bustlingly hysterical as his smaller scale specials. However, this isn’t a bad thing.
What makes The Fluffy Movie work is that has a more personal performance from Gabriel. He’s like your best friend telling you how he’s feeling and how his day was. But of course, throwing in a joke or two to keep your interest.
If you’re a fan of ‘Fluffy’ then there’s no doubt that The Fluffy Movie will satisfy your addiction. I do feel that most hardcore fans may be disappointed that the Blu-ray is bare-bones. No supplementary material whatsoever.
Picture Quality: 4.5/5

As someone who really detested the film adaption of Peabody’s Improbable History, I will be the first to admit that if any good came out of it, it’s that new generations will have an introduction to these wonderful characters.
This is why it’s very nice that on October 14th DreamWorks Classics will release a DVD collection containing every single segment of Peabody’s Improbable History.
For all those old-school fans (like myself) who want to rekindle their love for the witty and wonderful misadventures of Mr. Peabody and Sherman. Now you can! With this two-disc DVD set containing all 91 episodes of the time-traveling duo.
However, if you happen to be one of those “old-school fans” who owns The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle box set (like me) there’s no reason to double-dip. This collection is meant for casual viewers of the series, especially those who favor Mr. Peabody over Rocky and His Friends. As such, this set contains no bonus features of any kind.
If you want more bang for your buck, I recommend picking up the Rocky and Bullwinkle box set instead. Which comes with a plethora of extra content.
Ordinarily I’d be giving a rating for picture and audio quality, but since this a DVD (a standard definition format) as opposed to a Blu-ray, it benefits as best as it can.
Thankfully Peabody and Sherman is a standard definition series, so the format works for the series in question. No need to worry about any visual or audio faults here.
