The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.
View MoreThis is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
View MoreVery good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
View MoreGreat story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.
View MoreThere is a certain promise of talent and quality, one rightly expect, when a comedian is associated with a long-standing comedy institution like "Saturday Night Live", sadly there was none here. You keep waiting for the comedy but it never arrives ... not a funny joke, not an endearing anecdote, not a smart turn-of-phrase, not an amusing tongue-in-cheek comment, not a humorous narrative, not a surprising call-back... nothing to induce even a chuckle, let alone a laugh; just a torturous mind-numbing hour-long hectoring session mis-categorized as "comedy". It's not that comedy's deep seams of race and gender politics are all mined out, it's simply that Ms. Zamata misuses and overuses them as crutches for the absence of any comedic effort, indeed it would have been infinitely more worthwhile if Ms. Zamata spared her audience the agony of listening to her dry, tired and unfunny retreads and, instead, just read the comments section of any internet posting on race/gender. Yes, dear reader, it is that bad.If this is Sasheer's best effort, one would hope she has a trusted-friend or a loved-one who will pull her aside and break it to her that standup comedy is not her calling. It is telling that the loudest cheer from the crowd was when she mentioned Jessica Williams (of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart/Trevor Noah) people do know laudable talent when they see it.Recommended only for perpetually-offended masochists.
