Review of Sarah Silverman: Jesus Is Magic (2005) by Jimg. — 24 Jun 2006

Very disappointing effort. Blue humor is entertaining in two sets of circumstances: (1) you're in the audience drunk and young and just looking for diversion and (2) the messenger goes blue to exclaim or embolden some broader schtick.

Silverman's got no schtick. She's just a deliverer of random profanity and schlocky shock. She hasn't found her way yet. When considered critically, the enjoyable parts of the movie turn out to be enjoyable because they were enhanced by a big budget.

For example, her driving the in car sequence is bright and active, but without any humorous substance. Don't bother with this one. Unless, I suppose, you're drunk and young and got nothing else to do.
