Plot summary

This controversial work, created and performed by Eve Ensler, debuted off-off-Broadway in 1996 and soon rode a wave of national acclaim. Now, the intimacy of Ensler's original show has been lovingly brought to the screen. Capturing her unique performance, the film also follows Ensler as she explores the creative impetus behind the monologues and conducts a series of new interviews as inspiring as those that brought about the original work

No One is Indifferent to It

I have a strong suspicion the comments below were written by a man. This show definately isn't for everyone, but to call it revolting only makes Ms. Ensler's point--that there is such a ridiculous stigma and mystery attached to a woman's sexuality. Men talk freely and frequently about their equipment, I find it amusing that the idea of a woman discussing hers is considered so tasteless.It didn't leave me wanting to start a revolution--I didn't feel like marching in a parade after seeing this, I didn't want to shout VAGINA from the rooftops...instead, I enjoyed some often hysterical, sometimes tragic and overall witty dialogue.And it is funny, there's no way around that. The list of different moans is worth the price of admission alone. It's educational as well--did you know the clitoris is the only organ that serves no purpose other than to give please and contains twice as many nerve endings as the penis? As Ms. Ensler says, "Why want a handgun when you can have a semiautomatic?"

Tries to do too much

The Vagina Monologues is a great concept, but ultimately it just bites off way more than it can chew. On one hand, it tries to be relatable to Western audiences by discussing issues such as tampons, Pap smears, and run-of-the-mill bad sex, which is great. On the other, it goes a little heavy-handed and discusses issues like rape in the developing world and female genital mutilation, which are fine as topics, but can't be addressed so briefly or in conjunction with tampon humour.

The major problem with The Vagina Monologues is really that it tries to force a concept of "global sisterhood" that isn't really organic to its content. Just because female genital mutilation and Pap smears both involve a vagina does not mean the connection between them isn't utterly tenuous, and doesn't mean they should be in the same play.
