2.0 out of 5 stars
needs polishing,
By A Customer
This review is from: Margaret Cho: Revolution (Widescreen with Bonus Material) (DVD)
I too am a huge Margaret Cho fan and I went to see Revolution when she was touring with it. I felt that the laughs were fairly sparse, compared to her other two shows (although the persimmons story had me nearly gagging I was laughing so hard - nothing like a good crapping your pants story) and I hoped and assumed that she would tighten up the show and perhaps get some new material before filming it and putting it out there. Having rented the DVD, it seems that neither of those two things happened. It was just as long and rambly as when I saw it a year and a half ago, which is disappointing. I think Margaret Cho is a genius but I'd give this one a miss.

Margaret not inspired here. Check out her other DVDs.,

This review is from: Margaret Cho: Revolution (Widescreen with Bonus Material) (DVD)
Let me premise everything I am about to say by telling you that I am as "fanny" as a fan can get with this brilliant comic. Margaret Cho's "I'm The One That I Want" and "Notorious" are brilliant cum bordering on genius pieces that not only force you to the floor in laughter but also leave you thinking. This is a rare feet indeed in this day of mediocre comics that more often than not resort only to the mundane and profane to get a laugh.As to Revolution: I don't know what happened with this venture. Margaret is simply not herself and I don't understand why the plug wasn't pulled on "Revolution" before it got to the screen and DVD. She seems tired, uninspired and the material isn't worthy of her past. It is not representative of Cho in any way, shape or form. Perhaps her dramatic weight loss so evident in this feature speaks to more than a loss of physical weight. Cho's babbling and ranting will have you reaching for the OFF button more than once. The only reason we didn't turn it off was because we remained hopeful that the glorious Cho of 'Ol would show herself eventually...she did not. That it is not funny would seem bad enough. The real problem is that Cho doesn't have anything to say in this chapter. She has resorted to the absolute lowest rung of conversation in spending a good portion of this routine detailing her adventures in pooping her pants. It is that debase, it is that raunchy... it is not funny. Stay clear of "Revolution". If there was a "Revolution" Cho lost and unfortunately in buying this so did we. Here is to hoping our Margaret is working on better things. Can't wait!

Just not up to par,

This review is from: Margaret Cho: Revolution (Widescreen with Bonus Material) (DVD)
I am a self-proclaimed Margaret Cho Obsessee... however, Revolution just doesn't make the cut. It's not nearly as funny as I'm The One or Notorious. The jokes aren't funny or as well polished as the rest of it. I'd say the best part of this DVD is the bonus features - mainly the Cho/Daniels report (Sacramento Rally Edition) and Bruce Daniels' opening act... other than that, there were a few times in this that I just wanted to turn it off... ie: the "i shat my pants diet" - just wasn't funny at all. So really what it comes down to is me, a hardcore Cho fan THOROUGHLY disappointed. It's only my extreme love for Margaret that I gave this 3 stars... otherwise it would have been 1 or none at all. I laughed maybe once or twice... honestly. Disappointed.
