Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A great concert
Review: I would have given it 5 stars except Adele Givens makes a joke about Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes of TLC. Now, The movie was recorded in 2000. Left Eye died in a car accident in 2002. So, I think that joke should be removed from further printed vhs and dvds. Otherwise, these are very funny women. This is a must own.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Trash
Review: First so you know where I'm coming from, I am a full time stand-up comedian. This is a total slap in the face to all that is respectful in comedy. Comedy clubs suffer low attendance because audiences think this kind of garbage is what's being said. Stay away from this filth. When these ladies learn to write a joke consisting of the setup-punch format, I'll give them another chance.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: These so-called "queens" should be dethroned!
Review: I'm glad I rented instead of buying this thing because it was straight up garbage! I didn't find one joke funny and all the cursing and loud talking was totally unnecessary and added nothing to what they were trying to do! Take away all the crude sex stuff and they might as well not have been on the stage at all! All of these women are straight up ghetto and will never deserve the title of "queen" in a million years!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Oh lord.
Review: The Queens of Comdey are just that. Not even the kings have competiton with them. These girls are funny. They are really funny. And Mo'nique is something else. I love her so much. Sommore is my favortie. That hula-hoop thing was crazy! Ssh-Ssh. Anyways, Adele Givens was really funny, too. But, that Laura girl? Is she supposed to be funny? I mean, yeah, she took her wig off, but is that funny? Well, all I know is that this movie will definetly make you laugh, even if you're deaf. This movie tells it like it is and keeps the funnies coming at you. And, with all the behind the scenes of them going around, gives it an even funnier feeling. This movie rocks!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: These women are NOT queens!
Review: I decided to see this because I saw the Kings Of Comedy and liked it a lot,so I decided to watch this.It was one of the worst hours I spent of my life.It is just four black women who rely on cussing and sex jokes to get laughs.I don't mind cussing,but using it to get laughs is pointless.I bet that "Left Eye" is rolling over in her grave because of these jokes.They are just plain degrading.Miss Laura really needs to stop taking off her wig all the time,Adele needs to learn some new phrases other than "I'm such a f***ing lady".Monique also needs to learn some new jokes that aren't about sex.Once they follow my advice,I wouldn't mind seeing a Queens of Comedy 2.In the meantime,stick with the Kings.They are much better.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Too much cussing takes away from the comedy
Review: Loud is right, loud with the cussing!!!

I had been wanting to see this DVD for a while. I really enjoy Sommore and Mo'Nique, but this DVD was a let down. These ladies have no problems discussing just about any topic from spending 5 days in jail, sex, black men, sex, children, sex, marriage, and sex. You also got some behind the scenes footage, which to me was really not necessary. I knew better then to compare this to the Kings of Comedy. I mean why even bother? I knew it would be different, but the titles were similar so I guess that's why people made the comparison. I have no problem with cussing. It just seemed extremely excessive, and it was not funny. That's part of the problem I have with some comics, the use of cussing as a filler to help expand their act. You don't have to cuss to be funny. When I could laugh, I enjoyed some of the jokes, but aside of that, it's not gut busting funny. It's not hysterical. This was a major, major let down. You do not need to use excessive foul language to be funny!!!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Trash
Review: seriously. I didn't understand this. This show sucked. It really, really sucked. Every other word was an F bomb and the fat one kept talking about sex and going into detail and it made me shudder. I'd rather staple gun myself in the forehead then see this piece of crap again. I'd give it 0 stars if I could.
