Very well executed

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

It's good to see a woman doing stand up and not going for her body parts and her relationships and "that period of the month" - ha ha. I mean, Jen Kirkman does that, but she does it with a purpose beyond cheap entertainment extracted from the simple contrast. She is actually doing a critique of the society and of the stereotypes. In a way she has to be a stereotype to make fun of it. Yet somehow she is missing something. Maybe it is just the habit of having men - Lenny Bruce, George Carlin, etc - doing the critique. Or maybe Jen is missing something to make her act as good as theirs. Still, she is worth the time invested.Contact me with Questions, Comments or Suggestions ryitfork @ bitmail.ch
