Watch Iliza Shlesinger: War Paint For Free

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

This was the first time I had seen anything from Iliza, and overall it shows that she DOES have talent, but her act clearly needed work. It's aged reasonably well, but there are some longer bits that just aren't funny (the pharmacy witch) and seem to drag on.It's worth watching, but there are better specials out there.

Iliza is awful and her routine is just plain ANNOYING. she constantly does this annoying goat noise that is both misplaced and ubiquitous. It's literally like she randomly breaks into an impression of Jim Breuer's Goat Boy impression from SNL. Except it's for an hour straight. For the most part they don't tie into her "jokes", but they are obnoxiously EVERYWHERE. There are a few other annoying voices/accents that she does, which she is not good at, and only take away from her "jokes". They include a surfer-type guy, a death-metal-sounding guy, an airhead girl, and a tiny elfish-sounding thing. All rival Jim Carey's EEEHEEHHHHHHH noise in Dumb and Dumber. But just in general, the worst is that SHE IS NOT FUNNY. There's no way a professional comedian wrote them, and again, she adds the voices/accents/goat noises to spice them up. Total fail, I don't know why she is the slightest bit famous. Obviously people out there like her, or she wouldn't be. But I just can't stand her. The only thing I will say positive about her is that she has good energy on stage. Oh, and lastly, her total lack of talent takes away from the fact that she is a very good looking woman, and that's very easily overlooked, when you're cringing because of those GODD**N GOAT NOISES!!! This is a total PASS!!!!

I have tried, I have watched her stuff. not just this one here. it;s just awful. I would feel so cheated if I had actually bought a ticket, I feel cheated now that I have only wasted time.It's difficult to write ten lines of things without just being horribly mean but I guess I will try. Seems to me, if you were to pick say, three other comedians from anywhere on the circuit or whatever you might call it, from any time line between 1950 and 2015 and show them to someone who has never ever seen any stand up in their entire life, that person would be able to pick out this comedian as the worst in the bunch. Timing,material,sound effects, I mean c'mon! how did this even get to the point of going on the road? It;s like the publics being tested to see if anyone can be a stand up comedian or something. Is that what it is? I am guessing I passed and the answer is NO, they can't.

Last Comic Standing season 6 winner Iliza Shlesinger makes her major league debut with War Paint and she brings the energy in spades. Looking like Stephanie from Full House who never grew out of a college punk rock phase, she seems in her element here. I remember when she appeared as a guest comic on the season finale of LCS's 7th season, which they were treating as a formal event, and, as such, she wore a dress that she looked so uncomfortable in that it distracted from her set. It was partially because Iliza's a bit of a tomboy and her comedy could be described the same way. While she's been effective in smaller doses, you find yourself checking the time as the show drags on with her dolphin/sheep vocal effect beginning to grate fairly quickly. She does have some decent material that works well with her persona and her confidence and swagger are engaging, so she has plenty to work with as she develops. One feels she might have a few good sets in her.
