Sarah Silverman: Jesus Is Magic Reviews

Radically witty comedian Sarah Silverman–who’s been lurking around the edges of 온라인카지노추천 and movies since she debuted on Saturday Night Live in 1993–gets her big coming-out party.

| Jun 28, 2022

In the end, Sarah Silverman: Jesus Is Magic (I won't give away what the title means; Silverman's film has been predigested enough already) is a good date-night movie.

| May 7, 2020

It's a brutally disappointing and unfunny movie for such a hilarious woman.

| Apr 29, 2009

Silverman's full-on approach works because she unflinchingly examines these themes with a disarming sweetness.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 1, 2008

Her comic persona is that of a clueless and politically incorrect hipster who says terrible things without being aware of their shock value. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 1, 2008

By the end you'll feel like a bored parent trapped in the front row of the school play.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 1, 2008

Ultimately, it's difficult to resist...especially when she comes out with lines like: "I don't care if you think I'm racist - I just want you to think I'm thin."

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 1, 2008

Skip this one and check Sarah Silverman out on stage for real.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 1, 2008

Her high-wire stage performance is unmissable all the same, particularly when she's taking aim at such untouchable sacred cows as Martin Luther King. "They only mention the good stuff! He was a litterbug."

| Aug 1, 2008

Bad-taste material, delivered with an insouciance that looks easy until you see lesser comics trying it, is what she does best: killer gags about seven-year-old lesbians and Jews killing Jesus.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 1, 2008

Hit'n'miss gags that target 9/11, rape, the Holocaust and Aids ("If God gives you Aids, I say, 'Make Lemon-Aids'!") prove that Silverman is a gifted performer but that sometimes busting taboos isn't enough in itself.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 1, 2008

It's uneven and the relationship between your sense of taste and your sense of humour will determine whether you enjoy it, but at its best, Jesus Is Magic doesn't look out of place alongside the best stand-up concert movies.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Aug 1, 2008

Not to everyone's taste but her legions of internet fans won't be disappointed. Anyone who can come up with a line like 'I don't care if you think I'm a racist, I just want you to think I'm thin,' is okay in our books.

| Original Score: 4/6 | Aug 1, 2008

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 31, 2008

The wit, the smile, the rape and holocaust jokes, they all tie together in a lovely, compelling little package called Sarah.

| Original Score: B+ | Jun 21, 2007

There is a healthy release to be had in this address of our shared, so-often-facile Hallmark-card reverence. Humor can be the best weapon after all.

| Mar 1, 2007

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Jul 1, 2006

Silverman fails at what she does not because she says dirty things, but because that's all she says, and she's not very good at it.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jun 22, 2006

Silverman's raunchy pretend comedy act can't sustain its energy and humor.

| Original Score: B- | Jun 13, 2006

| Original Score: 4/5 | May 12, 2006
