Reception
[edit]Mark A. Perigard of the Boston Herald gave the television series a C–, writing, "When he hits the stage for a comedy club called the Stress Factory, he immediately blasts a young woman in the front row with vulgarities. A young, handsome guy can get away with it, maybe. Dice, however, is a middle-aged fart and about as entertaining."[1] The New York Times television critic Virginia Heffernan said, "The VH1 reality show Dice Undisputed — about his attempt at a career comeback, co-starring his two sons, his shrill fiancée and his motley entourage — is intended to shove him back in our faces, right where he apparently belongs. But we must again resist his advances. Let’s say it one more time: He’s charmless and unfunny."[2] Common Sense Media's Sierra Filucci gave the show two stars and wrote, "even though he still affects a tough-guy exterior, Dice's added years and weight -- as well as his loving (and spirited) relationship with his fiancée -- lend him a similar softened appeal to that of reality-TV compatriot Hulk Hogan."[3]
