There's plenty to laugh at in Iglesias' concert movie "The Fluffy Movie"
If you've seen and enjoy any of standup comedian Gabriel Iglesias' TV, then you'll also laugh heartily at his new concert movie, "The Fluffy Movie." The film, which was shot over a couple of different performances in San Francisco last year, is little more than an extension of Iglesias' comedy specials, as he riffs on a variety of different issues, including his weight, family, relationship issues and traveling in foreign countries, among other things. Iglesias is a skilled comedian and voice artist - his impressions are a highlight - though his humor often he relies too heavily on stereotypes to make a point. Still, he is genuinely funny, he doesn't profanity much and there are some solid laugh-out moments, particularly when he discusses his weight ("You can call me Buffy" in reference to his weight loss) or talks about the traffic while traveling in India. Iglesias doesn't expound on anything revelatory outside his specials, and you may even be better off watching some of those rather than seeing this, but you'll still leave with a smile bigger than Iglesias himself. Mainly for Iglesias' fan base, but still enjoyable nonetheless.
