I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

I remember the Kathy show which ran for two seasons on Bravo it was a weekly one hour show in which the stand up comedian had a talk like show where she talked about current issues and topics in pop culture and the world. And usually Kathy would have guests that she interviewed in front of her audience that she feed well off of for laughs and feedback. Even Kathy's mother made appearances on the show! And anyone who knows Mrs. Griffin know that her mouth and speak pushed the limits as her words are provocative and outspoken really sometimes she says so much it's like Kathy's mouth might need to be taped or she should be gagged, but this sexy fire breathing red haired woman is just to good not to be heard no matter who she insults Kathy is good so get use to hearing her because she will not stop! To bad this series was fired hopefully some network picks this show back up as Kathy is funny, outspoken, a mouth of knowledge and an eye candy treat to look at.

First off, let's cut straight to it: if you don't like Kathy Griffin, don't watch this show. Seriously. And if you do not know who K.Griff is, go to YouTube, type in her name, and watch any special, interview, or My Life on the D-List episode and decide for yourself. Now then, if you like Kathy Griffin's sense of humor (brash, inappropriate, straight to the point and dirty) then you will love this show because it's chalked full of Griffin humor. After having watched the first season, it was apparent to me that her new talk show will be something special. She starts the show off with a monologue (a mini excerpt from her stand-up) and then she gets right into discussing the latest news with a panel of "normal people," or anyone who doesn't have an assistant and works 9-5. These people are mostly from the Griffin staff and fringe comics. It brings a nice dynamic to the show. I must say that I love Chelsea Lately and her "round table" segments, and Kathy's real-people discussions are a similar, comedic outlet for people who aren't afraid to make enemies with celebrities they will never meet.On many of her shows, she brings on A-listers for interview and discussion type sessions. Depending on the person, they may take up the entire episode. I love watching these people because Kathy is a great host. She asks the right questions, makes her audience laugh, and noticeably puts her guests at ease in a way that they sling gossip, make fun of their peers, and say things that we (as viewers) love to hear.One of the best episodes thus far was Kathy Griffin and Lisa Ling, Jane Fonda, and Sharon Osbourne. Its pure gold. The things they say and the jokes they make had me laughing out loud for an hour straight. At the end Jane turns to Sharon, while everyone is laughing, and says "this is the weirdest show I have ever been on" and she couldn't have hit the nail more on the head. "Kathy" is strange, it's silly, its hilarious, and it's a refreshing take after so many talk show hosts always fawn over their guests (no offense to Ellen).Also, as a side note, Kathy's self described "90-year old alcoholic mother" is in the front row of the audience in every episode and is given both a box of wine and a mic. Can there be anything better in the world of comedy?I defiantly recommend "Kathy" to any K.Griff fans, My Life on the D-List fans, gays, and closeted straights.GO TEAM GRIFFIN!
