Directed by TV vet Stan Lathan (Dave Chappelle: For What It's Worth), Taking You Higher represents the sharp-dressed comedian's first HBO special. Unlike the other Original Kings of Comedy, Cedric Kyles, AKA Cedric the Entertainer (The Steve Harvey Show, Barbershop), puts on an old school Vegas-style show in which stand-up rubs shoulders with singing and dancing. Filmed at LA's Wiltern LG Theater, Cedric is joined by a full band, including brass section, and the Cedibles, a Solid Gold Dancers-meet-Fly Girls ensemble. On stage, he takes on all manner of topics, like television, hip-hop, diets, and plastic surgery. On the subject of TV, Cedric posits a world in which Desperate Housewives becomes Desperate Sisters and the CSI franchise spawns a show set in Detroit (the point being that all-black shows rarely hit the same heights). Songs include Sinatra staple "Summer Wind" and "Where's the Remote," a stab at James Brown funk. There's some good stuff here. Nothing earthshaking, but Cedric has choice words about pretty much everything. And he may not be the best singer, but the dapper dude keeps the musical numbers short and the long-limbed lovelies help to distract from any vocal liabilities. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

- Great time on shipping, but poor quality
I was thrilled to receive this DVD in time for the holidays, but was sorely disappointed at the condition of the disk. There were small chip marks all around the edge of the disk. I realize the risk of purchasing used items, the condition of the disk was worse than I expected.
