Christina P: Mother Inferior (2017)

Good movie but grossly overrated

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Christina's comedy special was not without its funny moments but it's clear Christina is an advocate of the 'Nothing is out of bounds' for comedy objectives, and to a degree I think that probably is the case, but that doesn't mean all topics are great for comedy, or that an average comedian can pull a laugh out of a taboo subject and not fall flat on their face, and there's a few pristine examples of that here. Mental illness is a tough one to find the right tone on to mock, and Christina's love of the school yard obvious hung her by the neck here, her Dick Clark piece came across like teenage bullies picking on the deformed kid behind the bike sheds. and there was plenty more where that came from. While pretending to be the thinking caring persons champion she regularly took the exact opposite position to demonise the underdog and hammer home a rhetoric point. I didn't hate her but I thought she let herself down on many occasions. Comedy can and should be risky, but it shouldn't be stupid about it.

Mummy Tina did an amazing job with this so! spitting so many truths! She's talking about the realities of being a mum, a wife, the expectations the people in our lives have and the expectations we have of ourselves. Mother inferior is one of my favorite comedy specials of all time. It means even more that it was for mummys!

the Arthousefilms review is just some salty liberal who hates the Fact Christina picked on sjw's & millennials... The review says they are a fan of the joke thief garbage Amy Schumer.. that should tell you all you need to know about there taste in comedy totally low & loose! They claim Christina is filthy but they live in San Fran, a place where the streets are lined with dirty needles, human waste & knowingly passing aids isn't a crime! America is over the echo chamber liberals & there crocodile tears! Mother Inferior is great & had me cracking up constantly! I can't wait till her next special... till then I'll be chillin at your moms house!

I thought she did a great job and was very original. I am a huge fan of stand up. I grew up where bob and tom radio was founded and listened to them for 20 years. If you know the show then you know they are famous for getting stand up comics name out there. Every day they would have a stand up comedian regulars such as daniel tosh, george lopez, frank caliendo and many more who would appear regularly before gaining fame. These comedians at one time or another were in the same shoes as Christina P. Arthousefilms clearly doesn't understand stand up as he or she referenced amy schumer who has been busted as stealing 90% of her material from other stand ups mainly ones that didn't rise to fame. Also arthousefilms talks about the vulgarity of her stand up but finishes by saying he would rather watch sarah silverman who is by far the grossest female stand up out there, come on man don't complain about someones style then say you're going to watch someone else who is far worse. Christina did a great job with originality which is what you want from a stand up comedian something fresh and new. If want a comedian without the vulgarity then marathon Jim Gaffigan he is great without vulgar material. All the greats are vulgar in one way or another. Eddie Murphy, Robin Williams, Bob Saget, all huge stars with far worse material.
