Wow! Such a good movie.
MamaGravity
good back-story, and good acting
Hayden Kane
There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

I was uncomfortable watching this. She honestly nails some points, but she then often will counter her comedy to not offend the men she is trying to insult. She plays on every stereotype about men and women in current culture, sex party bridal showers to morning wood. I wanted to enjoy it, but I stopped it about halfway through. These jokes were funny about 15 years ago when they were first told, but society has advanced too much for this to be accurate/funny.I personally started to hate her voice, nails on a chalkboard. If you get a chance to watch it, do so, but it wasn't for me. You can always stop it too.

I saw this on Netflix and was really excited about watching it. I'd seen Whitney Cummings on a roast a while back and she was really funny, and I've always wanted to see her stand up routine. Now I wish I hadn't.First off, there is very little to recommend this special. In this she's just not that funny at all, and at times is more annoying than anything else. Most of her jokes are so generic that they just fall flat, and the rest don't quite make sense. At one point she makes a joke about how she looks like a 10-year-old boy, and how anyone who would be attracted to her must be a pedophile. This joke failed on so many levels that I won't even bother going into it here. Just go to her IMDb page and decide for yourself if her description of herself is even remotely fitting. In order for self-deprecating humor to work there has to be an element of truth to the joke. OK, she doesn't have large breasts. So that automatically equals 10-year-old boy? Not so much. Feels more like she's fishing for compliments.Then there are jokes that are just lame. She went on and on about how men like sports. And not in a funny, unique way. She literally said "You men really like sports!" like it was the wittiest and most insightful thing a comedian had ever said. She then makes a few jokes off of that, none of which stand out because of how bland they are, and at one point actually says "Am I right ladies?" Seriously?She also makes jokes about how great it would be to date a vampire, but like others, rather than going somewhere funny they just fall flat. That's her whole special; premise that sounds promising, build up, punchline that either doesn't make sense or is so horribly delivered that the joke just dies. Do this for about an hour and you have Money Shot.Do yourself a favor and skip this crap.

Another reviewer wrote "she seems to have based her observations on watching other comedians, as there was very little I hadn't heard elsewhere - and better - before." I cannot disagree with this. I did not really know much about Whitney Cummings going in to this, but by the time it was over, I just felt dead inside. I got zero laughs out of this. She not only seems to have nothing really clever to say, but many of her comments seem way off (like she is not on the same plane of existence as the rest of the world).She seems to be directing her comedy towards women and against men. That is not a good idea, and will not get her many fans. There is a stereotype in stand-up comedy that women are not funny (with a few minor exceptions)... Cummings does not help break this stereotype.

Whitney Cummings stars in this one woman show and, as it runs on Comedy Central, talks for about forty minutes. She tackles most of the standard subjects of modern comedy: relationships, sex, the unreality of expectations and, of course, dealing with men.While I would not put on this show if any young children were present -- mostly for use of language inappropriate for youngsters, same as for most male comics these days -- it's a very good show. Ms. Cummings stalks back and forth on stage with a lot of energy and, if at the start of the show she panders a bit to her mostly female audience, her observations are spot on and funny and well delivered. Highly recommended.
