Jesus is Magic
11/23/2005
Jesus is Magic is a one woman show by Sarah Silverman which is a blend of stand up comedy and hokie musical numbers. In the opening scene Sarah says the show is about “The Holocaust and AIDS…..but it’s funny”. Silverman’s shtick is that she looks like a cute, wholesome, dainty female – and then she tells racist and rauchy jokes. (which for the most part are pretty funny…after each offensive joke I just had to look around the audience and make sure the stereotypes from the joke were laughing too (that makes it ok to laugh fyi))
It is funny – but not funny enough to spend $9.50 for a 74 minute movie. This is a definate rental and is good for a few laughs, but if you really want to see a good racey funny movie, see the Aristocrats (which Silverman is also in). I think I would have liked this movie a whole lot more had I not read a negative review with lots of spoilers about 5 minutes before I went into the movie because I knew a lot of the punchlines and plotlines coming up.
I give it 2.5 Angry Bees out of 5
