I have been a fan of Margaret's for years and this movie only reinforced my admiration for her both as a comedian and as an Asian woman.
The film is basically a show of Margaret doing standup. She touches on gay and lesbian issues, her mom, and the insanity of "All American Girl". Maragret describes the failure of her TV show and the following years with her usual flippant flair. But, snide comments aside, the story is really devastating. But Margaret makes it through to the other side and her performance is both laugh-your-a**-off funny and inspirational.
Those who are already fans of Margaret will not be let down and will thoroughly enjoy references to the A** Master, Maragret's Mother and other recurring stories from Margaret's standup.
Non-Margaret fans, with left-leaning political views will enjoy this film as well. Conservative rightees out there need not apply, our Asian darling's humor will be a little over your head.
