slimnfunny I love Vos and Bonnie. I know that is weird cuz I've never met them. But their podcast is hilarious, their comedy is great, and this movie is very well done for a first movie.My favorite part is seeing Bonnie's butt in the weeds. It was amazing. Didn't JO to it but plan to.The only thing I didn't like is how Bonnie doubts her skills, or the podcast, or her humor in general. I understand she's a chick and gets emotional bit Jesus it gets old. Vos is close minded, for sure ("No I'm not!") but that's prob why I liked this movie so much. Cuz you get to see the madness behind the scenes.If you like Vos and Bonnie, definitely give this a shot. You'll probably love it, and it'll prob put you in a good mood.Mark
grouchyeditor 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.
Jon Combs 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.
c-elizabeth-hammon It's a pretty lame documentary. Im actually surprised it got made in the end. Nothing is learned, nothing is gained. many popular female comics are completely absent and/or never even mentioned (rosanne, whoopi, Kathy griffin, more) It's totally self indulgent. I'm not even sure if there was a single redeeming clip in the entire thing. Every time she got close to having an interesting interview it ended up turning silly. She had golden opportunities with some really great people, like Joan Rivers & Wanda Sykes, but she didn't capitalize on the fact that she had them sitting right across from her. Those parts were too short and the parts with her acting dumb were too long. Its just a mess. I liked Bonnie mcfarlane before I watched this and it actually made my opinion of her go down.
