It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
... View MoreThe film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
... View MoreMostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.
... View MoreI think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
... View MoreThis is super great comedy that is very skilled and technical - it's obvious that previous reviewers know little about joke writing and performance. Morgan, however does - and she knocks it out of the park. I highly recommend using this incredible piece of funny comedy to not just sit back and enjoy, but for comics, to study of and become acquainted with mastery from this comedienne.
... View MoreCartman from South Park remarked well that women when they become comedians talk about their vaginas and not much more. Morgan Murphy does not talk that. The unpleasant humor makes me think that she still has a long way to go till she will reach that point when she will be comfortable enough on stage to talk about her vagina and how an imaginary boyfriend's way of reacting to orgasm.I hear she is coming from a comedy writing background. That would explain the disjointed jokes and the awkward style of "what do I say next?" I kept watching the video and wondering how come the camera work is so much better than the jokes or the act delivering them?Contact me with Questions, Comments or Suggestions ryitfork @ bitmail.ch
... View MoreMurphy's primary occupation of comedy-writing and not stand-up comedian becomes apparent quickly as she flutters from subject to subject tossing out what sound like idea pitches rather than full- formed jokes. Some of these are actually funny but the ratio of hits to misses suggests someone who relies on a staff to separate wheat from chaff. She adheres closely to the write-what-you-know advice never venturing far from topics one would expect from a single women who writes jokes for a living. While none of the material feels "jokey" or forced, it does make for something of a struggle to fill out the full hour without retreading the same thematic material. The material varies in a very narrow range from mostly dark (call it a medium charcoal gray) to some jokes about abortion that the audience observably felt uncomfortable with. She's not quite Sarah Silverman but they wouldn't been incongruous on a double-bill. In short, some select decent material delivered passably well.
