The Fluffy Movie starts off with a short film
depicting the birth and youth of Gabriel Iglesias (Fluffy), with the help of
various actors portraying the young Fluffy and the people in his life. Then, we
move on to Iglesias’ act on stage, filmed over the course of two shows, in
2014, in San Jose.
In this comedy show, titled Unity Through
Laughter, Iglesias discusses weight loss, kids, technology and family. His bits
on the old Nintendo and on finally meeting his father after 30 years were
great. As a fellow big man, I found the material on the issue of weight
interesting, though it started feeling more like motivational speaking than
comedy at times. In the mini-movie that preceded the comedy show, I popped huge
for the Hot Rod t-shirt, the presence of Tommy Chong and the reference to Eddie
Murphy’s Raw.
Fluffy is a very good storyteller. He has a
big positive edge to his material, which sometimes may come off as preachy and
motivational, but, overall, there is a lot material to make one laugh here. In
spite of a few weaker points, The Fluffy Movie offers a solid comedy show.
