Best movie of this year hands down!
Simply Perfect
The acting in this movie is really good.
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
I liked it. I think that it address the topic well, I applaud it for focusing on a topic that not many people pay attention to. I wish more people would be less biased against women, and I wish people would stop saying "I think women ARE funny ... but none of these women are funny." I saw it on Netflix, and I had to watch it because the topic is important. I think documenting this issue through Bonnie's lens is good for it, because she is a female comic (and I think she's funny) and we get a taste of what these female comics think when they hear "women just aren't funny," but they have to be calm and nice to this jerk because otherwise they'd be accused of being all "period-y."My one critique is that I felt like while the emotional bits were very good, they felt a bit scripted (maybe they weren't at all and I'm being crazy, but that was my impression.) However, I really loved the tie up with the show at the end, I thought all the jokes they showed were hilarious, and I loved the Dane Cook bit.Screw the haters. Women are very funny. And this documentary is funny.
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.
This "cocumentary" is funny same as Bonny being funny. This whole movie is about her and not much about female comedians nor the subject of women not being funny...if anything this documentary just proves the point they are trying to dispute. She even goes to the point when she says she did not do any research for this subjectTrying to prove women are funny by not being funny. The moment when she asks people "Do you know me?" is just sad...why does it matter? Maybe you are a shitty comedian and thats why nobody knows you? Oh yeah...and she asks Wanda Sykes, Sarah Silverman and Chelsea Peretti about not being funny? What do they know? They never were funny from startWomen can be funny, they are just not in this documentary.
This film was very entertaining and an amazing amount of talented female as well as male comedians. If you are fan of the "My wife hates me" pod-cast that comedian Rich Vos & Bonnie Mcfarlane you will love this movie. Opie & Anthony fans as well as comedy fans in general will recognize great comedic stars such as Dane Cook, Amy Schumer, Colin Quinn, and even Jim Norton and Bob Kelly. The relationship between Rich and Bonnie is very entertaining the way they destroy each other and happen to support one another when they really do need it makes the film into a complete story. Finally, the movie takes a good look at comedy from the inside and shows us what really motivates and scares most women and men entering the comedy business today.
