Pointed sociopolitical commentary that's thoughtful and impassioned, if not always hilarious.

Top CriticOnly for die-hard Cho fans.

Top CriticAnger is the gasoline of stand-up comedians, the fuel that gets them revved. But just as too much gas will flood a carburetor, an overdose of anger can stall a comic's inspiration.
09/07/05
Top CriticInspiration 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.
09/02/05
Top CriticIf Margaret Cho's act shows no signs of getting old, it's because the world is kind enough to provide her with sufficient lunacy to fill countless concert tours.
09/02/05
Top CriticMuch of this feels like pandering to her liberal audience, as she approaches subjects like reproductive and gay rights without offering many new -- or funny -- observations.
09/02/05
Top CriticThough Cho occasionally connects with her targets, more often than not she seems as intolerant and hate-filled as she accuses them of being -- and that's not funny.
09/02/05
Top CriticMs. Cho's commentaries come across as mere rants, lacking the fresh comedic spin necessary to carry a concert film.
09/02/05
Top CriticA terrific mime with amazing expressiveness, Cho has a fertile, untrammeled imagination that shapes vignettes and one-liners that unfailingly hit their intended targets.

Top CriticAnyone who can compare Reagan's funeral to Weekend at Bernie's and John Kerry to an Ent, one of Tolkien's talking trees, deserves an audience on both sides of the aisle.
09/01/05
Top CriticIn her third concert film ... one does detect a new level of calm about her that suggests Cho is growing more secure in her bones or is simply getting older. Or both.
09/01/05
Top CriticHer embrace of controversial political topics might be welcome if her jokes weren't so predictable.
