Dice Rules is a 1991 American stand-up comedy film starring Andrew Dice Clay and directed by Jay Dubin. This was the first film to get an NC-17 for language alone.

Plot

The film begins with a half-hour narrative short titled "A Day in the Life" with Andrew Dice Clay playing a fictionalized version of himself being abused by everyone he comes across until he purchases the studded leather jacket and becomes "The Diceman". After the short, the rest of the movie consists of footage from his shows at Madison Square Garden in New York City.

Reception

Dice Rules received negative reviews with an aggregate score of 7% on Rotten Tomatoes from 14 critics. Roger Ebert said of the film: "Andrew Dice Clay comes billed as a comedian, but does not get one laugh from me in the 87 minutes of this film". Ebert gave the film a rare zero-stars rating in his print review. He also reviewed it with Gene Siskel, each giving it a thumbs down (though Siskel did note he laughed a grand total of 2 times during the movie, compared to Roger in which he laughed none of the time). Siskel put it on his list of the Ten Worst films of the year.
