Leftist comedian Margaret Cho issues another salvo in her ongoing battle to laugh intolerant conservatives out of power in this performance documentary. Recorded during two dates during Cho's 2005 standup tour, Margaret Cho: The Assassin Tour features the acerbically funny comic discussing such subjects as the ongoing battle over gay marriage, the 2004 presidential election, the presidency of George W. Bush, the Terri Schiavo case, possible upsides of being raised in a restrictive culture, her mother's recent heart attack, and what happened when she was unexpectedly booked to entertain a Republican activist group. Margaret Cho: The Assassin Tour was the fourth concert film from the popular humorist. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

| I am terribly sad to have to write this review. Margaret Cho is one of the funniest and most brilliant comics around, as evidenced by her previous DVD releases. This disc therefore comes as quite a shock to dedicated Cho fans. It is truly dismal. Her timing is off, she's just not funny, and she makes offensive jokes about Arab-Americans. The same dumb jokes about gay people get boring, too, honestly. Why, Margaret, why? She looks like she's lost a huge amount of weight, and maybe with it she's lost her sense of timing, wit and sarcasm. Because I got through 15 minutes of this film and had to turn it off, totally unamused, annoyed and bored. Check out her earlier releases - They are exponentially better and funnier! |
