What a waste of my time!!!

Absolutely Fantastic

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.

If you are reading these reviews, I'd advise skipping some of the hate-filled one- and two-star reviews on this page. These "critics" seem more interested in venting their feelings of rage toward women in general, and MacFarlane in particular, than in any type of fair evaluation of the film. I watched the movie last night. My thoughts: 1. I liked it. Bonnie and Rich are an engaging couple in a rather unique relationship, and it was interesting to follow their behind-the-scenes lifestyle.2. Some of the haters on this page complain that the movie failed to reach its "potential," that it could have examined the history of women in comedy, perhaps from vaudeville to the present. This is an absurd criticism. The movie never claimed to be an educational, exhaustive study of American humor. Instead, it's an amusing peek behind the scenes of a typical comic's life which manages, along the way, to raise some provocative questions about women in comedy and society's reaction to them.3. I do not know Bonnie or Rich, and I was not paid to write this review.4. I'm not hailing this documentary as great cinema. But it is an amusing way to spend an hour and a half.5. There are quite a few funny interviews/cameos from the country's top comics. Kathy Griffin is missing? The horror! The horror! 6. It's hard to diss a movie that (at seven minutes and 20 seconds) gives us a great, if brief, shot of Bonnie's bare butt. I am thinking of posting a screen capture of said butt on my site, grouchyeditor.com.7. Finally, are women funny? Some are, some aren't. Society encourages men to be funny, so more of them are, and discourages women who are funny, so less of them are.

If you're going to make a movie about how people perceive that woman aren't funny... at least make it funny. There are lots of funny women in comedy, McFarlene isn't one of them, even though she got lots of funny women in the movie, to which she never took to her advantage. I'm still lost, as a fan of comedy this was still the worst documentary I have seen on Netflix. The only reason for positive reviews is seeing lots of comics people know.Hail the likes of Joan, Wanda, Silverman, Amy Etc....but this is is pile of trash, and pretty sure I could take a camera out on a Friday night and film funnier stuff than this in a matter of hours.

Comedian Bonnie McFarlane dons her investigative journalist's hat to find out once and for all if women are funny and report her unbiased findings in what some are calling the most important documentary of our generation.Apparently, this all started when Christopher Hitchens wrote an editorial called "Why Women Aren't Funny". Unfortunately, he died and can no longer discuss his thoughts.Early on, it seems like most of the male comedians interviewed seem to think there is a lack of funny women. One guy does say with so many male comics, there are probably more unfunny male comics than all women combined. That makes sense. Maybe women are just as funny, but there are fewer examples...Calling this a "cocumentary" was a bad idea. In fact, the whole segment with the radio show seems pointless and the husband could be cut out entirely, too. Explore your topic rather than padding 30 minutes of material with fluff.But, really, are women funny? This may ultimately be subjective. Men probably do not find women funny who base their standup on their kids. Which, sadly, seems to be the case. But women who tread into more traditionally male territory, like Sarah Silverman and Amy Schumer, are drop dead hilarious.More importantly: Is Maria Bamford funny? No.

This film was very entertaining and an amazing amount of talented female as well as male comedians. If you are fan of the "My wife hates me" pod-cast that comedian Rich Vos & Bonnie Mcfarlane you will love this movie. Opie & Anthony fans as well as comedy fans in general will recognize great comedic stars such as Dane Cook, Amy Schumer, Colin Quinn, and even Jim Norton and Bob Kelly. The relationship between Rich and Bonnie is very entertaining the way they destroy each other and happen to support one another when they really do need it makes the film into a complete story. Finally, the movie takes a good look at comedy from the inside and shows us what really motivates and scares most women and men entering the comedy business today.
