I like Whitney Cummings, she's naturally funny in interviews and podcasts, and apparently had her fair share of issues to give her depth (ok, maybe white woman's issues, I know, "boo hoo mental health" right, feel free to point out how other people have it worse, thank you for reminding us). Anyway, since 'Money shot', I look forward to her works. "I love you" is a well timed machine, movement, gestures, poses and expressions, all flows naturally. The public can only respond. She talks a lot of gender roles, in a dialogue that is both equally directed to men and women, playing with stereotypes, or deconstructing them. At times it feels like she is ignoring the elephant in the room, but you got to realize that she put a lot of effort to keep things light without bringing up murder and rape into your evening. If you ever heard about the Fallon/Poehler "That's not cute" anecdote, Cummings is not afraid to not look cute. She'll go there and be as honest as it takes to show you her humanity. Props for going back to stand-up after a long pause with a new hour and looking like you didn't miss a beat.

When I watch a stand up special I look for three things. 1. Is a comic that actually makes me laugh 2. something to make me think about the way we live. 3. talent that can improve in the future. I see all three of these and more. The stand up special that I have just watched left me laughing and looking for more, This was not the case with my friends. something about strong dudes watching a girl with talent for comedy and striking chords in their own belief system, somehow makes her a *, or a gold digger when really it is a girl with a perspective and a funny way of putting it out there. I recommend watching this special with your girl friend or even by yourself because she is funny but my fellow brothers find it insulting. enjoy the laugh's and thank you Whitney Cummings.

I'm not a huge stand up comedy fan. I'm a fan of the masters of yesteryear, Robin Williams, Bill Cosby, Eddie Murphy, Richard Pryor, Jay Leno, Jerry Seinfeld...these guys are legends. Sometimes they shocked but they always drew on real life and their antics were legendary. Stand up today is different. It reflects the current culture of comedy in movies where being vulgar just for that purpose is somehow funny. I loved Whitney Cummings' short lived sitcom because it was dry, sarcastic and risqué at times. I enjoy 2 Broke Girls despite its many, many poorly made decisions. This is the first time I've actually seen Cummings do stand up and I was mostly disappointed. Most of her observations about life are not based in any fact and are forced down your throat. You know the old expression "its funny cuz its true"...well I don't think many and certainly not me will get that from Cummings' stand up routine. Most of the time she'd be mid-joke saying "You know when..." and I thought...no...I don't. 99% of her comedy comes from trying to be shocking and vulgar and there were times I chuckled but for the most part it was the furthest thing from "side splitting." I suppose I expected that same level of dry sarcasm she writes 2 Broke Girls with or did Whitney with. That being said I think women may enjoy the routine more than men. My wife loves her and her style of comedy and I think she enjoyed the stand up more than me but at the same time I think she found it a little less funny than what she thought. The Comedy special is brutally short at under an hour and there just wasn't enough to make it memorable. If you're a Whitney fan check it out but I hazard to guess this was not her best work. Its average in every way and with any luck you won't pay money to see it. 5/10

Stayed up late today to watch this on Comedy Central where it was on at 2AM. Thought I'd get some good laughs but that did not happen. I started to surf around about 15 minutes into her "act". Whitney is a very good looking woman I'll give her that, but funny she is not. I think that many people make the mistake that because she is a comedian then her material is funny. I could call myself a comedian too, but I know that just saying that I am one does not automatically make me funny. Some people might even go so far as to say something dumb like, she's edgy or her humor is cutting edge. Not. Sorry to say, but looks alone will not get me to tune into any future "comedy specials" by Whitney Cummings. I still do tune in whenever she makes appearances on late night talk shows, although I did notice that she never does stand-up on any of the late night shows I've seen her in lately. Could be a reason for that. So if you see her listing on the cable TV schedule for this unfunny stand-up, I say keep surfing to see what else is on because you're not going to miss anything on "I Love You".
