Summary: Expect nothing less than the best.
Review: Wow, it hardly seems that Margaret Cho has been in the business long enough to have endured the things she's endured. But indeed she has, and she shares all in this hilarious video.Having seen Margaret live a handful of times over the years, her timing and content are at their best in this video. Building on material she's used occasionally throughout the years, she explores topics such as weight loss, her mother (of course), being attacked by midgets, fear of straight people and, in more serious tones, her sense of disappointment when her TV show "All American Girl" failed. For anyone who's ever seen Ms. Cho perform, this is a no-brainer purchase. For anyone else, trust us all - it's worth it. :)

Summary: Margaret, I am your new biggest fan!
Review: This is the funniest 96 minutes I have ever seen in my entire life! I don't ever remember laughing so hard. Margaret Cho keeps it funny and keeps it real at the same time. There are times when I didn't know whether to laugh or to cry. Most of the time, however, I was laughing, which was what this show was really all about. Even when dealing with tough issues like self image and drug abuse, sometimes the best remedy is laughter. I know this is the DVD I'll be popping in everytime I'm feeling a little down. Thanks Margaret!!!

Summary: CHO'S AS GOOD AS PRYOR OR BRUCE AT THEIR PEAK
Review: If you want to laugh out loud and non-stop for 90 minutes, don't miss Margaret Cho's brilliant "I'M THE ONE THAT I WANT." Irreverent, crude, cleansing, shocking, inspiring, sad, outrageous, and life-affirming, Cho's sold out, smash, one woman show ranks with the best of the best (yes, I'm talkin' as great as Richard Pryor or Lenny Bruce at their peak). I fell out of my chair, so strap yourself in or sit on the floor. Brutally honest and hysterically funny.

Summary: MS. CHO IS HILARIOUS!
Review: This is really the best of the best of Margaret Cho--the next best thing to actually being there (wherever "there" is!) Her wit, wisdom and incredible talent for touching something in us all that we can wholly relate to, makes her one of the funniest people on this planet--and this video clearly demonstrates that! I only wanted it to end quicker because my face was actually starting to hurt, I was laughing so hard!!! (Not something I am prone to do!) I highly recommend this title--even if you are unfamiliar with her work, it will make you laugh at how absurd the world is as seen through the eyes of one hip, mega-talented lady!

Summary: Brilliant!
Review: Margaret Cho can't really be called a stand-up comic; to slap such a narrow label on her wouldn't do justice to her remarkable story-telling ability, her talent for sharing tales that are alternately sidesplittingly hilarious and unbelievably heartbreaking. I've seen her perform and read from her book five times in the past two years, because she's so entertaining and enlightnening. Any woman who's ever struggled with self-image issues (which is EVERY woman), anyone who's ever been ... on and ... off should buy this DVD. Because I said so.

Summary: great great great
Review: As many other people have said here, this stand up comedy show offers more laughs than just about anything else you will see on film. No attempt at elaborate comedy could accomplish what Margaret Cho does alone onstage. Her performance made me laugh so hard when I saw it in the theatre that I embarrassed myself several times. Not only is it extremely funny, probably funnier than any other performance of any kind that I have seen, but it is also deeply moving. I very much recommend it; it is truly great.

Summary: Brilliant performance!
Review: For those of us who can't get enough of Margaret Cho when we hear sound bites of her live performances or read small passages from her various writings, here's a gift wrapped up with a giant bow: a live filming of one of her shows. Cho is every bit the superstar as she narrates her entire career, if not life, using the funniest impersonations of her mother (that are sometimes so touching they'll make you cry) and the scariest parts of her very colourful career. She's honest about her previous problems with drugs, her obsessions over her weight, and all the rocky relationships she's survived, making her comedy so important to her audience because of her candid confessions. Apart from that, she's the damned funniest woman in the world next to Jennifer Saunders, and this film shows us everything about what makes her so. Don't hesitate!

Summary: This is the one I want!
Review: I saw this movie last summer and have been waiting for it to come out on paperback/video/dvd/cd...etc..., whatever I could possibly get my hands on. This was the most uplifting, funny, real, movie I've seen in years. I never laughed so hard, or cried as much. I can't recommend this movie enough! It's a must have! Margaret Cho is an inspiration and a true comic gem. She is unbelievable!

Summary: Simply Amazing
Review: I saw this show on HBO and live! It was absolutely amazing. She takes no prisoners and calls things as she sees them. I admire the fact that she doesn't just tell a joke to tell a joke, rather it has a greater moral and purpose. She successfully tackles issues of race and ethnicity, sexuality, generational differences, popular culture and media, and drugs. In the end, your sides will hurt from laughing, and your mind will reel from the thought provoking issues she addresses.
