... Griffin's social commentary is just as piercing and hilarious as the autobiographical stuff.
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper

One of the funnier and, in an odd way, disturbing stand-up concert films in a long while.
Michael O'Sullivan, Washington Post
Fresh
Highlights some of the best, and raunchiest, of [Griffin's] humor.
Claudia Puig, USA Today
Rotten
The cross-cutting feels too casual and is mostly executed in a jarringly random fashion.
Ted Fry, Seattle Times
