Editorial Reviews

In September 2004, comedian Dave Chappelle took a break from his immensely successful Comedy Central show to stage a free, unpublicized, all-star hip-hop concert in the Clinton Hill neighborhood of Brooklyn, NY. Inviting fans over the Internet, on the street, and even in his family's hometown of Yellow Springs, OH, Chappelle asked filmmaker Michel Gondry to document the event from its inception on through to the performances themselves. The result is Dave Chappelle's Block Party, a concert film that provides not only a sampling of the music on display that September, but also an intimate look at the comedian himself. Gondry's cameras tag along with Chappelle as he visits Ohio, recruits a university marching band to play at the show, and surveys the opinions of Clinton Hill on the show that's about to take place. Along the way, we're introduced to some the comedian's favorite acts, in rehearsals and on-stage: Dead Prez, Jill Scott, Mos Def, the Roots, Erykah Badu, Kanye West, and the surprise reuniting of the Fugees.

June 16, 2006: I waited for the DVD to watch the movie. I thought there would surely be alot of features like extended concert footage. An event that lasted that long deserved it. Well, if you're like me in that respect you'll be disappointed. There isn't much extra here. There are extended scenes of the people involved with the movie who are not Dave or the Musical talent. It's fun, but not the party I wanted. The movie in itself does have two extended concert scenes, but THAT'S IT! I thought the soundtrack was just a tease to the movie, it turns out that the meat and potatoes of the concert is on the soundtrack, and that's not saying alot. My suggestion would to have been to edit out more of the crazy hippies and add in more music. This is a Hip Hop movie, that couple belonged on a Hippie documentary which I would have watched if I felt like watching it. On a positive note Dave doesn't let you down. Even the random citizens involved are delivering entertainment, but the musical entertainers were simply an afterthought during the editing process. I would like to see a DVD exclusive showcaseing their side of the story.
