It is a performances centric movie

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

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
