Features: DVD, Pan and Scan (TV Format), Aspect Ratio 1.85:1, English, French, Spanish, Subtitled
Hilarious stuff here, friends and neighbors. And the laughs aren't just aimed at folks who think Caddyshack is where ma and pa park the car. 'Cause the little secret behind the #1 comedy concert of the past two years is that its topics - marriage, kids, traveling - are so universal. And so wackily warped when seen through the perspective of standout stand-ups.This concert movie captures the fellas on stage as well as during off hours. So hunker down and catch each of the comics in a solo bit. Then see them in a kind of 4-man comedy jam. Jeff Foxworthy's "redneck", Bill Engvall's "Here's Your Sign", Ron White's bad-boy tales, Larry the Cable Guy's bumpkin yarns - they're all here. And all gall-durn funny!

"...hilarious. There's something for everyone in this movie." Bill Muller, Arizona Republic
"You don't have to be redneck to enjoy these guys. They are a hoot." Bob Ross, Tampa Tribune
"A genuinely funny gathering of four good ol' boys." Rodney Ho, The Atlanta Journal Constitution
"Consistently funny, good-humored." Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

Several things are striking about these well-seasoned comedy pros. Although all are self-professed purveyors of redneck humor, they are actually quite distinct from one another in personality and style, more so than their African American counterparts of the highly successful Kings of Comedy tour and film. By the same token, the Kings of Comedy not only are more socially and politically conscious but are more outrageous and freewheeling and incite more robust laughter than do the Blue Collar guys, who in fact take pains not to perpetuate widely deplored redneck stereotypes in their comedy. They rightly avoid ethnic and racial references, and only the grimmest feminist could remotely regard them as sexist. By and large this leaves the men mainly to poke fun at themselves and to find humor in their daily lives. - Kevin Thomas
Variety 7 of 10
Unlikely to draw new fans but destined to please followers who couldn't catch the live act, "Blue Collar Comedy Tour: The Movie" preserves the four-years-running show featuring the red-necky quartet of comics Jeff Foxworthy, Bill Engvall, Ron White and Larry the Cable Guy. Like "The Original Kings of Comedy," which it closely mimics and seems like a cultural counter-response to, new showcase is buoyed by the lesser known performers, while the headliners ride on past laurels and jokes...Director CB Harding, with good assistance from editor Tony Hayman, fluidly covers the stage action with over a half-dozen hi-def cameras, but there's notably less filmmaking energy here than the sort applied by Spike Lee to "Original Kings of Comedy." - Robert Koehler
