Sometimes Sarah Silverman is funny. This is one of those times.

The skits are mostly garbage, but the stand up is some of the finest stream of consciousness meta societal stupid people mocking material there is.

Jesus may be magic, but Sarah Silverman is to stand-up comedy what Twilight is to the vampire film genre. Hey bitch, you're not funny, your delivery sucks, your material sucks, and your gimmick/crutch is that of a moderately attractive, normal-looking girl saying "dirty jokes". If not for the obsession many Americans (and network execs) have in wanting to see a successful female stand-up comedian, she wouldn't have a fucking career. I've seen comparable sets on the local Open Mic night.

i actually really liked this

I also like Sarah Silverman's comedy

Jesus is Magic proves that comedienne Sarah Silverman's faux-racist Jewish princess shtick works in smaller doses if at all, the hit-to-miss ratio of her taboo-busting routine having since been upstaged by comics of greater consistency and invention. That isn't to say that she never hits the funnybone, but that in two decades that have been good to groundbreaking satirists she's upstaged by the likes of Frankie Boyle, whose TV show Tramadol Nights more ably combines stand-up with sketches.

"Not quite as raunchy, but twice as offensive, as The Aristocrats." - Nick Schager

It doesn't always work, but I love her whole ironic racism thing. She says things and you get angry at them and then you realize that deep down you really care about those things and that's why you're angry. She reminds us of how fucking awful racism really is.

Not a very effective mix of stand up and skits. Sometimes laugh out loud funny, sometimes just waiting for it to get back to the jokes.

My first encounter with Sarah Silverman, and thought it was hilarious. Yes, it is just a stand up routine with song numbers cut in.

WARNING WARNING do not see this movie if you've ever considered suing someone for something they've said! You will get overheated and have a heart attack!

A decent stand-up performance. A LOT of racist jokes. Not that I was offended or anything, but at a certain point you have to ask for a bit more creativity.

My only gripe with this movie is that it's too short.

If you've seen Sarah Silverman's act before, this movie is not funny. If you're not surprised by a cute girl saying naughty things, this movie is not funny. The pacing is murderous as well, as it is somewhat incompetently directed (sorry, Sifl and Olly fans). Good only for Silverman neophytes, and even then this film might turn them off.

The songs are lame but the stand-up is really damn funny

A handful of big laughs

The songs are terrible and a little embarassing. That said, her stand-up act is hilarious and her delivery is perfect.

Half of it was funny, half of it was unnecessary. She would like to think she has edgy humor, but I fail to see what "edge" it has. I laughed quite a bit though anyways.

Most of this material here (and there isn't much of it) is recycled from the same routines she's been doing for years. So if you're new to the jokes, it's pretty funny, otherwise there's not much to look forward. Most of the interstitials flops, too, but I liked the intro.

Not as funny as I'd hoped it would be. The songs are pretty lame.

It's not a movie, it's a stand-up special with Tenacious D style music.

This is basically a concert movie. 80% of the movie is just a recording of her performance doing stand up comedy. The humor is similar to "The Aristocrats" - very dirty, racist and "provocative" whatever that means. However this movie suffers from the same problem The Aristocrats did - it's too long (even at 90 minutes). The humor works best when it's shocking (thanks to the delivery - she does a great job pretending she is completely not surprised by what's coming out of her mouth) but

The movie works when it leaves Silverman alone onstage with her material, and her songs. What doesn't work are the interspersed "short film" vignettes that serve only to stretch the movie to feature length. Perhaps there just wasn't enough material: even with the vignettes, the movie barely runs 70mins. Still, as 70mins of gay, racist, holocaust, 9/11, AIDS jokes as delivered by a cute and precocious Jewish girl, it's funny enough to recommend. With better direction, it could have been great.
