7/10
Good, but it seemed to be lacking
13 January 2006
Sarah Silverman has established herself as the preemptive voice for the female comic, but sadly, this movie isn't her opus to the genre. While she has some very heady and socially deliberate jokes, there seems to be a real lack of material. I blame the songs. though they were funny and pretty entertaining, they seemed to take the life out of the movie and force the viewer to reassert the notion that "I'm watching a stand-up comidienne."

Sarah Silverman will crack me up till the day she dies, or when I die, whichever comes first. But hopefully, she'll try to make another movie that seems fitting to her talent and her deadpan outlook toward life and race. Watch this movie because Sarah brings a different breed of comedy to the screen, but don't look at this film as her shining moment in the medium. That movie is still on the horizon.
