I love Vos and Bonnie. I know that is weird cuz I've never met them. But their podcast is hilarious, their comedy is great, and this movie is very well done for a first movie.
My favorite part is seeing Bonnie's butt in the weeds. It was amazing. Didn't JO to it but plan to.
The only thing I didn't like is how Bonnie doubts her skills, or the podcast, or her humor in general. I understand she's a chick and gets emotional bit Jesus it gets old. Vos is close minded, for sure ("No I'm not!") but that's prob why I liked this movie so much. Cuz you get to see the madness behind the scenes.
If you like Vos and Bonnie, definitely give this a shot. You'll probably love it, and it'll prob put you in a good mood.

When she dressed up as a man, expecting to kill on stage and make her point that it's easier being a man was so cringey.
I think all of the other reviewers are completely missing the mark here... At the end of the day, this movie was intended to be funny. Yes, it is technically a documentary, but in the end, it was an attempt at humor. With that in mind, this movie hits the mark, and it hits it a lot. Very, very funny. From the interviews, to the bits of stand up, I was very entertained. My only gripe with the entire movie was redundancy. The same point is often made numerous times. It was as if they ran out of different ways to ask the same question, and began to ask the same question the same way.
I give major kudos to Bonnie, for making a very entertaining film in the end. I think a sequel may be in order. Production can start once Bonnie finally wises up, and leaves that moron mush mouth Rich Voss. The fact that Bonnie has been able to accomplish even a modicum of success with Rich around is an accomplishment, in and of itself.

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

This "cocumentary" is funny same as Bonny being funny. This whole movie is about her and not much about female comedians nor the subject of women not being funny...if anything this documentary just proves the point they are trying to dispute. She even goes to the point when she says she did not do any research for this subject
Trying to prove women are funny by not being funny. The moment when she asks people "Do you know me?" is just sad...why does it matter? Maybe you are a shitty comedian and thats why nobody knows you? Oh yeah...and she asks Wanda Sykes, Sarah Silverman and Chelsea Peretti about not being funny? What do they know? They never were funny from start
Women can be funny, they are just not in this documentary.
