Like Scorsese's Casino, in which Rickles had a small role, Mr. Warmth tips its hat to a demolished way of life--Vegas power having transferred from the Mob to the even scarier thugs of corporations.

A hilarious movie about a surprisingly funny man.

Rating: 3.5/4 --
The dichotomy of Rickles' customary matador-theme entrance and tongue-in-cheek but true theme song "I'm a Nice Guy" captures Rickles' secret of success: you gotta love him.

Rating: 2.5/4 --
Confirms that Rickles's enduring popularity as the high priest of putdowns can be chalked up to an admirable national trait to not take ourselves too seriously.

Rating: 2.5/5 --
Landis doesn't buttress Rickles' shtick with anything but smoke and mirrors, and the film falls away like a cheap suit.

Product Description:
A cavalcade of stars line up to pay tribute to American actor/comedian Don Rickles in this documentary feature. Director John Landis (AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON) splices excerpts from Rickles's movie career into the footage as celebrities such as Jay Leno, Sarah Silverman, Whoopi Goldberg, and Chris Rock all heap generous praise on the often-controversial star. Landis's film is based around Rickles's stand-up act at the Stardust in Las Vegas, which shows that he's lost none of his rapier wit despite the advancing years.
