DVD Review: ‘Latin Palooza’ - Urban comedy courtesy of today’s top Latino comics - Zap2it

“The true test of a successful comedy DVD, like the albums of the past, is its ability to create laughter and memorable, quotable lines outside of the theater setting without the benefit of that audience high, which makes everything funnier. Joey Medina’s “Latin Palooza” makes a creditable effort by combining a handful of today’s most well known Latin comics — and one non-Latino — to address contemporary everyday urban concerns that affect people of all ethnic backgrounds.

Naturally the majority of the humor revolves around Latin jokes, most particularly poking fun at the cheap, blue collar aspects of their society. Veteran comic Medina probably does it best, referencing how Mexicans are known for their cheapness (using Cool Whip containers as Tupperware for rice and beans), love of drinking (much like the Irish) and violent Mexican women (why he took up boxing).”
