cookiecaroline-89283 I liked it. I think that it address the topic well, I applaud it for focusing on a topic that not many people pay attention to. I wish more people would be less biased against women, and I wish people would stop saying "I think women ARE funny ... but none of these women are funny." I saw it on Netflix, and I had to watch it because the topic is important. I think documenting this issue through Bonnie's lens is good for it, because she is a female comic (and I think she's funny) and we get a taste of what these female comics think when they hear "women just aren't funny," but they have to be calm and nice to this jerk because otherwise they'd be accused of being all "period-y."My one critique is that I felt like while the emotional bits were very good, they felt a bit scripted (maybe they weren't at all and I'm being crazy, but that was my impression.) However, I really loved the tie up with the show at the end, I thought all the jokes they showed were hilarious, and I loved the Dane Cook bit.Screw the haters. Women are very funny. And this documentary is funny.

jake2034 To be quite honest, if this documentary was handled by someone else, it might have been interesting. But, this wasn't so much a question of if women are funny, but rather is Bonnie funny? And frankly, I think not. The "Do you recognize me?" and "Maria, add me to your funny ladies page" scenes are a little sad. Are women funny? Sure, probably equal to the percentage of men that are funny.It's hard to say it's unbiased when she's trying to prove how funny SHE is throughout the whole movie, and taking (some) clips out of context. I know that Doug Stanhope is talking about the reason he got into comedy when talking about being funny as a way to get girls.At the very least, it's about as good as any "Cocumentary", in the sense you get to hear your favorite comedians talk off the stage. But, it's a shame that this could be the last appearance for some recently passed comedians.All-in-all, watch this if you've watched every other cocumentary on Netflix/Hulu.

c-elizabeth-hammon It's a pretty lame documentary. Im actually surprised it got made in the end. Nothing is learned, nothing is gained. many popular female comics are completely absent and/or never even mentioned (rosanne, whoopi, Kathy griffin, more) It's totally self indulgent. I'm not even sure if there was a single redeeming clip in the entire thing. Every time she got close to having an interesting interview it ended up turning silly. She had golden opportunities with some really great people, like Joan Rivers & Wanda Sykes, but she didn't capitalize on the fact that she had them sitting right across from her. Those parts were too short and the parts with her acting dumb were too long. Its just a mess. I liked Bonnie mcfarlane before I watched this and it actually made my opinion of her go down.

Neil-238-599054 It's a shame Ms. Mcfarlane chose to half-a** it. The myth of unfunny women could have been interesting. But she didn't explore the history of women in comedy or perhaps the psychological reasoning why women don't prefer women comics. You could have had a few panel discussions. And more Rich Vos is never the answer. And no Kathy Griffin? Odd.She lacked confidence through the film and made it way more personal than it needed to be. And if she wanted to go that route why not talk about how she broke in and what her family/friends thought about it. And were they barriers? It's also strange that four of the five writers for the movie are men. Can't help a sister out? But the interviews are still fun and worth a few laughs
