Critic Reviews

John McMurtrie

Biting and incisive. Read full review

Kevin Thomas

She has something to say to everyone, and one can only hope that she is preaching to more than her choir of devoted fans. Read full review

Owen Gleiberman

Even those who may agree with Cho's agenda are never allowed to forget that it is an agenda. Read full review

Elizabeth Weitzman

She has tackled difficult subjects with sharp wit, but this self-congratulatory set falls well short of our ensuing expectations. Read full review

Dallas Observer Luke Y. Thompson

It's hard to see why her audience seems so much more rabid than that of other, funnier comics. The secret seems to be in her appeal to the gay community. Read full review

Dennis Harvey

Inspiration is running thin in comedian Margaret Cho's fourth concert film, a routine stand-up set that compares poorly to her oft-hilarious first two. Read full review

Ernest Hardy

Painfully bereft of wit or cogent insight. Read full review

I used to love Margaret Cho. I have loved everything she's ever done. This is terrible. She barely does her characterizations, she's just angry and.... tired. What a shame. I only gave her a 1 because she showed up.

When talking about homosexuals she continually says "us" and "we" yet she's been married to a man for the past five years. This woman is the female equivalent of Dane Cook.
