Sarah Silverman: Jesus is Magic


Last night, I went to the movies and saw "Sarah Silverman: Jesus is Magic". It's largely a film of a stand-up comedy performance by Sarah Silverman, plus some skits and music videos. Her work definitely deserves an NC-17 rating for language, although it appears she didn't submit it to the MPAA for rating. The humor was very iconoclastic and probably would offend those who shouldn't see the movie in the first place. Some of the film was laugh-out-loud, but I didn't really find it a-laugh-a-minute. Most of the humor, while clever, came from surprise over the shocking nature of her punchlines. Other concert films with off-color language, e.g., those by Eddie Murphy and Richard Pryor, are much funnier. Silverman's appearance in the more offensive, but totally hilarious "The Aristocrats", is funnier than anything in this film. "Sarah Silverman: Jesus is Magic" is 72 mins. long.
