Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
... View MoreIt's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.
... View MoreThere is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
... View MoreThe film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
... View MoreChristina's comedy special was not without its funny moments but it's clear Christina is an advocate of the 'Nothing is out of bounds' for comedy objectives, and to a degree I think that probably is the case, but that doesn't mean all topics are great for comedy, or that an average comedian can pull a laugh out of a taboo subject and not fall flat on their face, and there's a few pristine examples of that here. Mental illness is a tough one to find the right tone on to mock, and Christina's love of the school yard obvious hung her by the neck here, her Dick Clark piece came across like teenage bullies picking on the deformed kid behind the bike sheds. and there was plenty more where that came from. While pretending to be the thinking caring persons champion she regularly took the exact opposite position to demonise the underdog and hammer home a rhetoric point. I didn't hate her but I thought she let herself down on many occasions. Comedy can and should be risky, but it shouldn't be stupid about it.
... View MoreWhat can i say? every now then i go into a comic bender and watch a bunch of comics trying to find a gem, which is really tedious since i only find like 15% of all comics i check out to be funny. Anyway, Christina Pazsitzky just made my list of favorite comics (which already contained her husband, Tom Segura). She's the only female on my all time favorites list. there are 2-3 girl comics i like, but she's just better.
... View MoreThis was a delight, in a society full of oversensitive people, she gets it, i personally thought this was such a breath of fresh air, in a world full of false pretentious people obsessed with themselves. Her comedic timing is absolutely brilliant, and i just thought it was completely magical.
... View MoreTrust me, I can handle vulgarity. I'm a huge fan of stand-up comedy and also a fan of the likes of Louis CK and Amy Schumer. But folks, this comedy special of Christina Pazsitsky is completely gross and unfunny.Comedy is funny when it is smart and insightful. This special is just horrible. Pazsitsky relies on topping each "joke" about an orifice, with another take on a different orifice that is even viler. Joan Rivers had plenty of vulgarity in her routines, but it was smart. Louis CK and Amy Schumer are the same, smart. (Although their 2017 specials were about as gross as Pazitsky's). But if you look at the body of CK or Schumer's work, they are very smart and offer clever observations.Pazsitsky, however, is completely unfunny in this special; merely describing body fluids, body function, and sexual mechanics is trite, sophomoric, and annoying.Her interactions with the audience during the show were cringe-worthy and embarrassing to watch.It's like she had no clever observations to transform into comedy so she went for the big laugh by talking existentially about the body and sex, as if the just uttering a vulgar sentence is automatically supposed to be a laugh riot. Nothing in this is funny. I was deeply put off by her daft insulting of the audience's intelligence. She's an appealing person with decent comic delivery, but the "comedy" out of her mouth was nothing more than futilely trying to max out the shock meter. But that "shock" had no effect other than to make me want to immediately cleanse my palette with some good old-fashioned Chris Rock, Sarah Silverman, or Chelsea Handler. I hope this special gets buried and never surfaces again.
