Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
... View MoreA great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
... View MoreThe story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
... View MoreA movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
... View MoreThis was pretty much word for word the same as the show I saw. It was great the second time too! I don't get the negative reviews from Silverman's fans. There is still vulgarity. Maybe not enough for them? Maybe there is too much social commentary in the jokes. I think she is going in the right direction.
... View MoreWith female stand-ups falling like flies these days (the tenuous careers of Griffin and Schumer or just plain dropping dead like Joan Rivers) Sara Silverman steps up to try and fill the void. Instead of staunching she instead exacerbates with the same below the waist gross humor that Amy Schumer's last special spewed to the detriment of her career. Playing in what looks like a small community theatre to an audience of well wishers she gets brief blocks of polite laughter from a crowd that never really gets raucous with the material or her dead pan delivery. Showing little energy and working off of a pad on a stool her timing is poor her projection slurred at times. By the halfway mark she is running on fumes as the repetitive vaginal, anal, rape and cum jokes no longer shock and the energy level, low from the outset, begins to creep. The audience enthusiasm never rises much from the outset as the laughter and applause never builds but stays so uniform that you get the feeling at times of sitcom canned laughter to bulk up Silverman's anemic performance.Once a decent sit-com supporting actress Silverman is no A list stand-up comedian. The cutesy little girl routine in her 20s has grown old and stale now that she is in her mid 40s and there is a reason she played in a band box, her following is few. Still, she came out swinging like the ill fated Goodyear Blimp Schumer did in her Leather Special with "edgy" humor such as her sister crapping herself or where her boyfriend puts his hand after giving her digital anal stimulation. Given her fecal obsession Sara must be quite pleased with this fine mess of a comedy special, it's pretty crappy.
... View MoreStarts out with her comparing singing to going to war. Then there is the lip sinking. Let's make fun of the church and put strippers in nun outfits. Ho-hum. A few guys kissing guys. A few guys grinding each other. Political misstatements. And some boobies and the same old music on replay. SO BORING. OH, and you get to see her grandma parts hanging out over and over again. They took the best of this concert tour and spliced together a film. I have seen over 100 concerts and Kenny this was the worst really
... View MoreI usually avoid Sarah Silverman. I appreciate her as comic most of the time, but I just don't agree with her opinions. This was Sarah at her best. I laughed out loud, cringed slightly at her mostly-toned-down crudeness, and she didn't upset me with her opinions once. But the part I enjoyed the most was the credits. Here, I think we saw the real Sarah Silverman and I found her to be a delightful, warm-hearted, intrinsically funny and wise lady.
