Andrew Dice Clay: Dice Rules! is a 1991 comedy film directed by Jay Dubin and starring Andrew Dice Clay, Eddie Griffin, and Sylvia Harman. The movie centres around the controversial, stand-up comic Andrew Dice Clay and his performances at Madison Square Garden. The film opens with Dice arriving at Madison Square Garden in a flashy limo, ready to give his infamous, risqué and politically incorrect comedy routine to over 20,000 people. The audience is seen seated inside the arena, eagerly waiting for the show to start. This brief introduction provides viewers with a glimpse of the scale of Dice's popularity and his massive fan following during the time.

The movie then takes a look at Dice's personal life and background, featuring interviews with his family members, friends, and colleagues from the entertainment industry. The interviews give viewers a peek into the man behind the stage persona - Andrew Clay Silverstein, a Brooklyn-born comedian with a sharp tongue and a knack for storytelling that is both crass and hilarious.

The documentary aspect interweaves with footage from Dice's performances (mostly from the Madison Square Garden show), where he performs his signature material consisting of crude and often offensive jokes on religion, sex, race, and disability, among other taboo subjects. The comedy material in the movie is quite similar to Dice's stand-up routines of the time, making use of his edgy delivery and foul-mouthed humour.

In addition to the laughs, the performances also offer several musical interludes. Eddie Griffin features as one of the opening acts to Dice's show and performs a rap that the audience seems to enjoy. There's also a funny bit where Dice performs a song about a couple going through a messy divorce, with lyrics that are somewhat reflective of his own personal life.

Aside from the performances, the movie also explores the backlash and controversy Dice faced during the height of his popularity. Dice's material was often considered too vulgar and sexist, leading to protests and calls for boycotts of his shows. The documentary incorporates clips of news reports and interviews with protesters, who express their concerns about the impact of Dice's humour on society.

Amidst all of this, the movie showcases Dice's work ethic, his dedication to his craft, and his desire to be the best, as well as the love and support he receives from his fans, family, and friends. The documentary depicts Dice as a regular, working-class guy with a talent he uses to make people laugh, while also acknowledging the controversies surrounding his career.

Overall, Andrew Dice Clay: Dice Rules! is a funny and interesting look at the career of a controversial comedian who was at the top of his game in the early 90s. The movie offers an insight into the life of a performer who made a mark on American comedy, using his unique style of humour, and broke barriers by touching on sensitive topics that were considered taboo at the time. It's a definite must-watch for fans of Andrew Dice Clay and for those interested in the history of stand-up comedy in America.

Andrew Dice Clay: Dice Rules! is a 1991 comedy with a runtime of 1 hour and 28 minutes. It has received moderate reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 5.3.
