Did you people see the same film I saw?
It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
Blistering performances.
I like good humor and this ain't it.The jokes are so over the line and distasteful don't waste your time.
For once a comic using humor instead of shock. Avoids the off-color, or profane, yet is definitely Adult Humor. Feminist Humor... On target for women. Very much like men have had a corner of humor, often at women's expense--- this is aimed at Women. There a great number of "Uh-huh, you got it!"-- --- I am dismayed that every reviewer seems to focus on the voice. As if other comics aren't too short, too wide, or too unattractive-- or have and accent--and we overlook it. It is more like a signature voice, and certainly not the most important thing about her!
Okay, so her voice is shrill and irritating and she acknowledges that. But she can also be absolutely hysterical! Be forewarned, this is not appropriate for children.
Wolf is a clever woman and pretty humorous. She has great delivery, and somehow turns her strange voice into an asset. But she comes off hypocritical when she declares her comedy to be feminist, but then relentlessly body shames men. Feminists have spent decades complaining about the body shaming of women, so when they then turn around and body shame men, one must conclude that it is some immature quest for revenge. If we step away from feminist narratives, it becomes obvious that both genders practice body shaming, and that we'd all be better off if it stopped.
