Very Cool!!!
... View MoreOne of the best films i have seen
... View MoreIt’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
... View MoreThis film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
... View MoreAppalling... in a school of wittering idiots, Sarah Silverman rules in hell, apparently. Her weak co-option of human rights should make the most noble of us shudder. SS humour includes such dissociative as MLK and farting, AIDS = lemonaids and the charming imagining of "wouldn't the Jews have been better off if there were Blacks in Nazi Germany?" Her cruelty knows no bounds, especially to the elderly, Blacks, Ethiopians, her parents, her dead grandmother, everyone wins! She likes Fiji Wadder! If you, as I, were watching this DVD expecting a cinematic début of a rising talent and found yourself bored... try this trick: Use a mental computer find-and-erase and for every instance of the words "um", "like", "gay" and "oh my God", renders the entire performance half as long... Score! Or in her own words, "My sh*t... it belongs offstage."
... View MoreI gave it a 6. 6 is pretty damn high in my books. SS is a extremely nasty old gal. she will make fun out of the most touchy thing she can think of.if you can somehow get past all that and just watch her then you'll have a good laugh. she's super witty and thats what makes for good times. she knows what she is saying and 1/2 her act is about going deeper and deeper into touchy territory. if you don't laugh in the first 10mins after her first song then just switch it off because you'll get more and more offended.I'm going to look for more from her.later.
... View MoreNarrative digressions on sex, race, politics, and more from comedienne Sarah Silverman.I love Sarah Silverman. I love her jokes, her songs, her face. So it saddens me that this is supposed to be her big break for a DVD. Even with Liam Lynch directing and helping write the song, it just never excels.Some really good material appears on this movie -- some of her best jokes, and at least one really good song ("You're Gonna Die Soon"). But there is a lot of filler. The backstage scenes are not funny and serve little purpose, the opening and closing really are not funny, and the closing song is mildly amusing but more childish than clever. Worst of all, twenty minutes of jokes are stretched to 45 minutes due to a lot of pauses and silences. What we hear is great, but we have to wait too long to hear it. Cutting the video down in time, or adding more jokes would really have done wonders as far as keeping me laughing.But there is hope. She has her own show now, which is doing well, and has one of the most memorable scenes from "The Aristocrats". So Sarah Silverman is just getting started, I think. Her next DVD, should there be one, will likely blow us all away.
... View MoreStand up performer attempts to be the next Lenny Bruce and isn't.Sarah Silverman is the bombing comic on the old Johhny Carson show, mysteriously given show business carte blanche a la the bizarro world. Is she offensive? Who can even say anymore. Pushing the boundaries of good taste in the year 2007 means a young woman can now stand on stage and tell "in depth" bathroom jokes one after another without clearing the house. Example:Sarah: Cause now I'm at that point where I'm comfortable peeing in front of my boyfriend, and you know its kinda nice...now Im going to try it in the bathroom. Not just A bathroom joke, but perhaps the Oldest bathroom joke in the catalog. Eyes on the prize ladies, lol. To be fair, the show isn't all 80 year old jokes and vaudeville/burleque. She has a few funny lines and even at her embarrassingly low moments, Sarah Silverman remains an engaging and attractive on-stage personality. Her overt charms notwithstanding, the question that kept running through my mind was not, How is "I hope the Jews killed Jesus, I'd do it again!! considered funny, but "Who exactly is this chick and 'Why exactly is she on my television?' Who exactly is Sarah Silverman other than a look alike for her namesake semi-successful not brother, Jonathan Silverman, and the next Mrs. Jimmy Kimmel? Is there such a dearth of female comics that this is what distills out of the machinery? I don't think so. I think Sarah only gets to do and air a bad show like this or get booed off the stage at an awards show because.... boyfriend Jimmy K has got a lot of juice! That is indisputable. Just as Sarah's nonstop passage on the Bad Comic Forgottenville express was abruptly interrupted as soon as she starting dating Mr. Kimmel is likewise not in dispute. That's Hollywood, and it ain't gonna change. Now if seeing the not particularly funny girlfriends of talented people act out in a feature length video/stand up thingamajig is your idea of a good watch, by all means, have at it, this movie is for you!! I'd personally prefer to watch someone with a little more talent. Or to take a page out of her act, Sarah Silverman successfully debunks the 'all Jewish comedians are funny' stereotype.
