Kathy Griffin: A Hell of a Story

I'm going to guess that, since this was only showing once, a lot of reviews I saw posted here before the movie started are from people who didn't see it. As someone who did, I had a great time! My theater's turnout wasn't huge, but everyone was laughing throughout - I thought that this was one of Kathy's best standup specials in years. She goes through everything from politics to the Kardashians and strings it all together better than the wide majority of standup specials out there. I do wish that the opening documentary section gave a better view of what was happening behind the scenes after the media fallout. It can feel a little tacked on at spots and could have gone more into "the wood chipper," but it seems like Kathy really wanted to focus on the comedy. As it is, I hope people 1) see this before they rate it and 2) see this because it seems like Kathy Griffin is coming back better than ever!

As one of the few reviewers on this site who's actually seen the movie, I'll share that Kathy Griffin is one of the most honest, intelligent, perceptive, tenacious and hilariously funny comedians out there. All of that is on full display in the film and I enjoyed it immensely. It was great to see her on tour. The film had all the best parts of her standup, along with a peek into what the past two years have been like for her. Folks can troll her all they want. They'll just end up in her act!

I've seen this at the festivals and I also have seen the "Laugh your head off" tour live on stage last year. Wow, what a gutsy movie. Kathy Griffin went to hell and and she tells all about it. Not only interesting but also laugh out loud funny, absolutely relevant and very revealing. Do yourself a favor and watch it.

Kathy Griffin is genius, yes she does hate Trump... because she's actually sane and has more than 2 brain cells. Relax, have a few laughs! :))

Saw this last night. It was, as usual, pure Kathy Griffin, and I find her very funny. However this is not a standard stand-up comedy show. She recounts the truly awful experience she had recovering from the abuse she received from both the conservative public, and the President of the United States, who don't seem to care for Freedom of Speech. It was a hard road back, and scary for her and, remember, if they can do this to her, they can do this to you. The first 25% of this is a mini documentary detailing her struggles, and the rest of it is an edited version of her touring show. My wife saw the show live, and last night she said it really captured all the best moments.

If you like Kathy Griffin, this, to me, expands her comedy out into new areas, but it is all Kathy al the time. Enjoy.
