    Any Rickles fan will love this.

    If you're looking for hot, juicy gossip in Mr. Warmth you're going to be out of luck. Don Rickles doesn't have any buried skeletons in his closet. There's no big surprise other than the fact that in his eighties Don Rickles is still funny as hell, even in a world that is politica...( read more)lly correct. Featuring appearances of some of the biggest names in Hollywood (that are still alive) Mr. Warmth is a look at the last of his kind. A great documentary on a guy that is more than Mr. Potato Head.

    Very funny, a brisk and continually interesting look at Rickles and, even better, an era when stars were mythic - and the mob ran Vegas.

    Rickles is a dick. But a good actor, when he wants to be.

    Not the most wonderfully crafted documentary but quite interesting and fun to watch. It's cool to hear how Rickles has impacted so many celebrities. Expect alot of familiar faces and funny stories. All in all the film does what it's suppose to do and was enjoyable to watch.

    John Landis directed this hilarious documentary about the only comedian that can insult people and they still love him. Don Rickles is a wonderful man who also knows how to talk some serious smack. If you respect your comedy history, I think you'll get quite a few laughs from t...( read more)his. The cameos add even more laughs to the picture. Thank you, Landis, for capturing the life and work of a wonderful man. Cheers.
