Jim Jefferies: This Is Me Now (2018)
The gleefully irreverent Jefferies skewers “grabby” celebrities, political hypocrisy and his own ill-advised career moves in a brash stand-up special.

So much average
It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.
All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.
His other Netflix specials are amazing, by comparison this one is just boring and his delivery feels like he knows it's average and just going through the motions.
I see a lot of reviews of people who say they are fans. But if you truly love Jim's material, you can see that this special is just a money grab. Rehash, No real jokes. The bad rating is not because 'some people can't stand this kind of language', it is simply because this is a very lazy made stand up. I hope you didn't lose your edge Jim.
Jeff Erie's was at one time extremely funny and talented. He has gone from that to what we see now, a has been. His comedy has become lazy and unoriginal. So sad. He once was a great comedian.
Sooo the good thing is Jim still does specials.. I thought he would pursue TV/film career more by now but he is still true to his roots. Or at least he's trying... The show was good overall but lacked a spark of sorts.. a mojo, if you will.. Jim just seemed to have lost the passion for the topics he talked about. I understand it is harder for him to find the zeal maybe partially due to the Jim Jefferies show where he just has to sift through a horrible amount of information and news and try and pick the most interesting or funny ones. How much involved in the production of the JJ show he is, I do not know, but it seems to wear him down a bit. Jim just doesn't seem like the day in, day out working kind of guy...
