There's nothing groundbreaking here but it's an entertaining hour (which is what you're after right?). Like every comedian and standup it won't be everyone's cup of tea but that's fine.

The weird thing about this show is the audience. There's multiple moments where they don't just clap but holler and cheer overly enthusiastically to something she's said. I couldn't help thinking there was a 'cheering' track added. Some things Ellen says are worthy of a supportive cheer, but others are just humorous comments and the audience reaction is completely OTT.

That irritation aside, if you like non offensive humour you should enjoy it.

Instead of finalizing her career as a comic with something irreverent or groundbreaking, she chose a stale recounting of the last 2 year's headlines. Nothing special & no way to end your groundbreaking career. Ellen has always leaned into her dry approach to comedy but I don't think it suited her here. Yes, we know people called you mean, and if that's not true, that's terrible. One retelling would have sufficed. Ellen carved her own path & she doesn't technically need comedy like most standups, but I sure wish she had gone out with a bang since this is her last special.

It seems she needed this adoration more than she needed the laughs.

The only thing Ellen will be remembered for is being mean to everyone around her. And this movie is just an attempt to salvage her self-imploded career.

Not really sure why she cares so much. She has to have a lot of money. Time to go off into the sunset. You did your damage.

I can confidently say Ellen was never particularly funny. She had a schtick and that's it. Ellen has a complete inability to connect with people. It's clear she just judges them. Her jokes are neither relatable nor well timed. One hour was simply too much to endure.

I highly recommend this show to those who are a glutton for punishment!
