With a loose, free-associative flow, Ellen DeGeneres glides through her 2003 HBO special, Here and Now. In just the first 10 minutes she touches on procrastination, new paint colors, television commercials, and mental disorders--topics that fit into the show's subtitle, Modern Life and Other Inconveniences. By the end, she's also spun out sneaky jokes about cell phones, memory loss, elevators, vocal inflections, pickle jars, and social embarrassment. Her genius is that she never seems like a genius; on the contrary, DeGeneres seems like your next door neighbor pointing out the obvious, yet somehow an hour whizzes by in complete enjoyment. It's peerless observational humor--nothing groundbreaking or piercingly satirical, but simply fun. --Bret Fetzer

 Shamefully below par November 27, 2008
As much as I like Ellen DeGeneres, I realise that her stand-up acummen is not as good as her acting. She was woefully out of form on the evening of the filming. The lack of humour in her stories is also quite disappointing. she tries hard to extract laughs from an enthusiastic audience, but the result is disappointing. The dvd has its moments but they are few and far between. It was a waste of my money and I intend to sell it.

No matter what kind of mood you're in at the time, you are sure to laugh so hard your eyes will water with this video. She is HILARIOUS making fun of everyday things we go thru in life. MUST SEE!
 Ellen Degeneres Here and Now May 11, 2008
Put aside any notions of Ellen you have from the Ellen Degeneres show. I have watched the show and not found it particularly funny. Here and Now, on the other hand, was extremely funny (if you like the show, this will probably be even better). Ellen pokes fun at everyday occurrences and wraps everything up in a theme which everyone can probably relate to: procrastination. Here and Now offered profound thoughts in ways that don't require too much thought... It was a very well-spent hour.

Very Upbeat and funny and to date for all ages and light hearted good close to the heart fun.
I laughed so hard, I CRIED. August 9, 2007
If you like Ellen, you will LOVE this stand-up routine. I am not the sort of person who likes to watch movies more than once or twice, but I have watched this DVD so many times that I feel like I know it by heart. It's not gay-themed, so if you're looking for that, this is not the DVD for you (minus one small bit at the beginning of the routine which is, of course, HILARIOUS). Ellen discusses everyday things and then presents them in a way that will have you in stitches. If you're considering buying this - consider no longer. JUST BUY THIS - NOW! You won't regret it.
