Where is fluffy pelicula
The film begins with a dispensable prologue set in Tijuana, Mexico, depicting his mother meeting his dashing mariachi singer father and his childhood, during which he was inspired to become a comedian after watching a VHS tape of Eddie Murphy Raw. The Bottom Line The personal material shines brightest in this consistently amusing if not hilarious stand-up comedy film.
His nickname referring to his excess poundage, Iglesias, clad in his trademark Hawaiian shirt, begins the show with a lengthy routine about having recently lost pounds — he had gone up to — after being informed by his doctor that he would be dead within two years. His descriptions of a consultation with a surgeon about gastric bypass surgery and his subsequent effort to lose the weight without entirely cutting out his beloved fast food is sure to resonate with more than a few viewers.

If you are looking for a straight up comedy show then this is not for you. He talks about video games and how kids back in the day were forced to become mechanical experts in order to keep them running in contrast to today's slick machines. A lot of time is dedicated to discussing the faults of his stepson, especially his positions towards wearing deodorant and taking out the trash.
Thanks to the frequent cutaways to the audience members cracking up, it appears as though Iglesias's live audience enjoyed the performance for the most part but when seen from the distance provided by the transition from the stage to the screen, the cracks begin to show. Presumably due to the fact that he is playing in an arena, he never seems to establish the kind of rapport with his audience that can make a stand-up performance more than just someone telling one joke after another.
As for the material, it often feels a little too pat and predictable for its own good—the kind of stuff that any comedian of any stripe could crank out without breaking a sweat anyone hoping for commentary on the immigration conflict, to name one especially ripe example, will be sorely disappointed —and at minutes, there is a little too much of it for its own good.
One exceptionally expendable sequence is a prologue that purports to depict the circumstances surrounding his conception involving his mother and a dashing mariachi band member and his discovery of comedy via renting " Eddie Murphy : Raw" and which also feature cameos from Tommy Chong as a video store owner and Ron White as a cigar-chomping obstetrician—the former presumably to honor another one of Iglesias's inspirations and the latter to make viewers feel relieved that Larry the Cable Guy wasn't available.
The two best sequences in "The Fluffy Movie" come near the beginning and toward the end. In the first, he talks in detail about his struggles to get healthy in the wake of a diagnosis of Type 2 diabetes, and, in the second, he discusses his unexpected reunion with his father after an absence of over 30 years.
In these bits, Iglesias seems more engaged than at other times, and the way that he tackles such potentially tricky and treacly material pays off in laughs and in genuinely earned sentiment. If only the film had contained more moments like this, it might have broken through the ranks and becomes something more than a cable special writ large. Again, a film like "The Fluffy Movie" is essentially immune to reviews—fans of Iglesias will flock to it and should probably add an extra star to my review while those who have never heard of him will barely register its existence as they flock to see " Lucy " and " Hercules.
