Women Aren't Funny

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.

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.

I thought this was going to be a rant by an angry woman but it wasn't. Not only is it not serious, it's not a documentary. It's a scripted movie that is intended to be funny and they succeeded. Watch it.

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

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.
