Eddie Griffin, star of last year's Undercover Brother, brings his standup routine into the spotlight in DysFunktional Family, a program of crude humor that has critics offended and unimpressed.

Movieguide's critic says, "It's a raw, lewd movie … Eddie Griffin can be a funny guy, but decent-minded audiences will not be amused by his crude antics in this offensive concert movie."

David DiCerto (Catholic News Service) says, "At one point Griffin observes that if God created him to be funny, and if he is created in God's image, then humor and joy in turn must be an integral part of God and his plan for humanity—which is theologically sound, but one wonders what God would think of his vulgar standup routine?"
