Judy Berman TIME Magazine DeGeneres promised to 'talk about it' in For Your Approval, her farewell stand-up special. Unfortunately, she has nothing of value to say. Oct 1, 2024 Full Review Mark Feeney Boston Globe If you like DeGeneres, and it’s hard not to (unless you worked for her, apparently), all this is enjoyable viewing. Sep 27, 2024 Full Review Matthew Creith TheWrap However it’s perceived, one thing is certain: Ellen DeGeneres’s honesty shines through, making her incredibly, candidly and hysterically relatable. Sep 26, 2024 Full Review Clare Martin Paste Magazine A wishy-washy hour that asks us to care about DeGeneres again, without giving us any reason to in the first place. Rated: 4/10 Oct 4, 2024 Full Review Joy Press Vanity Fair A jokey non-apology that offers little in the way of vulnerability or insight. Sep 27, 2024 Full Review Sean L. McCarthy Decider DeGeneres still has the chops as a shrewd observational comedian, but can she effectively chop away at her own mystique? Yes and no. Sep 26, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Aubrey G Terrible and completely out of touch stand up. Also, there are obviously a lot of her team or people she has paid to post good reviews on here. Not buying it people actually enjoyed this at all. DO NOT WATCH! Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 11/22/24 Full Review Audience Member Her comedy in America is sub-par, but here in the UK, it's awful. Why is she here? She's going to have a cultural shock when she finds out we have workers rights over here. We don't approve, and instead of being a comeback, it's more like beating a vile horse. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 11/21/24 Full Review Whirled P I thought she was brave and funny. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/18/24 Full Review Michael W I found her jokes extremely boring and not funny. A lot of self victimization and deflection about what happened on the on her talk show. In my personal opinion Ellen has always come across like a discount Jerry Seinfeld. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 11/07/24 Full Review Shawna S Poignant, smart, thoughtful and most importantly funny. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/20/24 Full Review R B I was happy to see Ellen again and I enjoyed the show. Don't really understand the negative reviews. I didn't watch to hear a detailed account of what happened behind the scenes of her show like some evidently did. It happened, it's over, and my take on it is that it was perfect timing for someone with a grudge to stir the pot and it caught legs and took off. I enjoyed the special and was happy to see the audience give Ellen such a warm welcome. I found it touching and yes, kind. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/18/24 Full Review Read all reviews
