This film had its moments but was a bit of drag, meandering around and doubling back on itself and leaving the viewer unsure of what the point was at times. Yes, it depicts how hard it was for a female to crack the stand-up comic circuit but adding her own rather unattractive personality to the fairly unattractive supporting cast did not make for great viewing. It was all a bit grim. Was surprised by the rave ratings and comments on the container of the dvd.
