Stephen C 1.25 hours of real comedy footage!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/30/25 Full Review Audience Member If you get offended easily, you should watch this. There is something to be said for learning to accept that hearing things that you might find offensive eventually leads to growth and progress. If we don't know what offends us, how can we make changes? Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Ed M Kind of interesting. Nothing you haven't heard before. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 07/03/20 Full Review Audience Member As serious a film about the duty of offensiveness in comedy as you could wish for. It's a timely reminder that freedom of speech is our only bulwark against dictatorship in all its guises. Fascinating interviews with comedians, commentators and politicians, and the only obvious failure is the absence of a voice from the other side of the debate. A long section Lenny Bruce, but nothing from Bill Hicks, Richard Pryor, George Carlin, Joan Rivers, Louie C K. Presumably for rights reasons. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review paul s This is an excellent documentary about an incredibly important topic. Freedom of speech matters even if it hurts your feelings. I genuinely believe that the low tomatometer rating is because people are offended by the subject matter. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Struggles to make it to feature length, but has some interesting things to say about the thin-skinned that still show up at comedy clubs...
