DVD Review: "Is Your Love Tank Full?"

Synopsis: Is your love tank full...or are you loving on empty? With his usual down-home, humorous style Dennis "The Swan" Swanberg tells of his experiences loving people in their own love language.  Whether he is shopping at the mall for a gift for his wife, or hugging his mother, hilarity abounds!

The Good: What "The Swan" has done well before in previous recorded live performances I've watched, he continues to excel at here.  His good-natured, clean humor is always a delight, especially in a time when even some "Christian" comedy is far too smutty, as was the case with Thou Shalt Laugh 3.  Mr. Swanberg has a way of looking at life through a humorous lens, which is something we all should do more often.  It's easy to see why he is a beloved Christian comic; I particularly enjoyed his impressions of Sesame Street characters.

The Bad: As good as this is, I do have one complaint: Some of the jokes here are ones I've heard in other videos of his.  If you're new to his material, you won't mind; however, longtime fans may be disappointed in the occasional rehash.  Also of note: There are no closed captions or English subtitles on this DVD, which may disappoint deaf or hard-of-hearing viewers.

Conclusion: I've talked before about growing up hearing the comedic stylings of Mark Lowry, Taylor Mason, and, yes, Dennis Swanberg.  Maybe I'm biased, but, I had fun with this one, even though he did reuse some material.  Fans of Christian comedy will enjoy this.

Score: 4/5
