not laughing enough

Sandra Bernhard got a big head after her smash hit one-woman Broadway show. Her manager Ingrid Horn hopes to return some humility to her by booking her in LA where she started. She is performing in front of black audiences who don't seem to care about her material.I don't know about her one-woman show. I do know her humor and some of it is funny to me. So, I'm coming into this with mixed hopes. This is not that funny, but it has some social commentary moments. She is mocking a few things. The black audience is central to that. I appreciate the effort, but the result has limited laughs to me.

"A" for effort .... but her live performance was better

I cant believe how few people posted comments!? (original post June 2005) Thats just shows that not many people care about this film...and thats sad. I had the privilege to see her perform her 1 woman show LIVE w-a-a-a-y back in1988 (or so? i cant remember) and it was HYSTERICAL!!!! She is a fantastic writer and stand up comic. The live audience laughter was infectious and I remember thinking she was a brilliant performer. But somehow seeing the same monologues performed on film spoken in a smoky Jazz nightclub to a less than enthusiastic crowd of actors (who probably had a very hard time keeping a straight face) was just not as funny. Sandra If you read this PLEASE PERFORM THIS SHOW LIVE AGAIN. IT'S TIME. or maybe you have. I'm going to look out for you more now.

(POST UPDATE: Film is being shown at OUTFEST Los Angles July 2009 YAY!!!).
