Absolutely brilliant

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

There are two ways to look at this installment of the Blue Collar Comedy Tour:1. If this is the first time you have become acquainted with the gang, this will likely be a 5-star experience. The bits are still funny, and the "old pictures" segment to close out the show is almost worth the price alone.2. However, if you have already viewed parts one and two in the series, then (for likely the first time) the material will begin to really feel stale. "Rides Again" began the over-exposure, while this one only continues the process. Without that great last segment, the entire show would have really felt musty.In terms of evaluating each individual comedian:Bill Engvall: A bright spot; really engaging stories that may be his best performance of the three.Ron White: A step back from "Rides Again"; loses some of that biting wit/sarcasm that is his hallmark.Jeff Foxworthy: Spends WAY too much time on one rather uninteresting subject, and routine suffers as a result.Larry the Cable Guy: Same old, same old here as even big-draw Larry starts to get a bit derivative and sinks into out-and-out crudity a bit too much.Thus, your opinion of this third (and last) entry into the Blue Collar film series will likely be determined by your previous forays into the series. By and large, the jokes are still funny, but their freshness is what is seriously called into question.

Blue Collar Comedy Tour: One for the Road is a solid closure and a great fix to the bland and dry addition of Rides Again. The performs tackle funnier topics and the end scene where all of them are on stage are the strongest in the trilogy. This is the best of all of the films.It's hard to say what went wrong in the second part. I didn't hate it. But something wasn't on par with the original. When critiquing a comedy special, it's strictly what topics you yourself funny. What you find funny isn't what others do making it hard to efficiently review a special. One for the Road shows the guys at their funniest and that is what it's all about.We start out with Bill Engvall, surprisingly, since he is usually saved for second to last or last in the performances. He is the funniest of everyone talking about impressing fifth grade girls and a stressful trip to the massage parlor. Ron White starts talking about Texas Hold 'Em and the state of awareness scale, and this time, he is actually pretty funny.Usually I grin when Ron White is on stage, but I actually found him very funny during this special. More points. Jeff and Larry close the show with Jeff and Bill being the major highlights of the film. Then, at the very end, as a Blue Collar tradition, they all come out on stage and do something with a theme. This time; telling their favorite jokes and looking at photos they are "not proud of." Just wonderful humor.This is the final special from Engvall, White, Foxworthy, and The Cable Guy. There is another one called Blue Collar Comedy Tour: The Next Generation. But from what I hear it's just four other Blue Collar impersonators doing their own shtick using the four guys' humor. I think I'll stop here. One for the Road stands out in the trilogy for discussing the funniest topics and having memorable lines dropped one after another.Just to let you know, if you ask if this is a review of Blue Collar Comedy Tour: One for the Road, I'll say "Nope, it's a review of the DVD cover." Heeeeeeere's your sign! Starring: Jeff Foxworthy, Larry the Cable Guy, Bill Engvall, and Ron White. Directed by: C.B. Harding.

I was kind of skeptical about seeing this movie after not being entirely satisfied with "Rides Again," But this one was just as great as the first! Each of the guys' comedy was right on and had me laughing endlessly. Just like Ron said in the movie, I laughed until I thought I was going to throw up! All of them were on key and the material was very fun and interesting, though Larry pushed it with his joke about catching a Cuban while fishing in Florida, but otherwise, it was very great! The special features on the DVD are also very funny, including their short on pulling a prank on President Bush(played by an actor). This one might even be better than the first one in that each of the guys had relatively equal stage time, unlike in the first one where Larry and Ron's bits were too short and Jeff's was slightly too long. In this one, all four routines were well spaced and perfectly long enough to be fully satisfied, plus the material seemed very fresh and new. The finale was also absolutely hilarious in seeing old photos of the guys from years before. Some of them were obviously doctored by a computer, but the guys' reactions to them were great. This was an awesome movie, the Blue Collar boys hitting a home run in their last at-bat. Overall, a must buy!

Reported as the last time that Bill, Jeff, Larry, and Ron will be performing together on stage. This installment does not hold up to the quality of standard that was instituted from the first two films, which were, in my opinion, much better.The DVD version of this film does add some hope to this offbeat title, but it still suffers. The bonus features on the DVD are superb, to say the least. Much easier to watch than the actual film itself. For instance, the boys go for a stroll to the White House and play a trick on President Bush (played by a comedian).As a television movie, the film had quite too many pauses in the one hour and forty minutes it was aired. The jokes were overused, and sometimes bland. No real humor in much of the material. The appearances of the four gentlemen are somewhat higher than Blue Collar.Overall, the film was average, and I gave it a 7 out of 10.
