Movie Reviews of Margaret Cho - I'm the One That I Want
Movie Review: She;s The One Everyone Should Want (to be like)
Summary: 5 Stars
Since this is a standup act, i dont think theres technically any spoilers to give. But in case i run across something that might make a joke less funny ill put my regular ###s around it so you can skip over that if youd like.
"I'm The One That I Want" is one of the three dvds of Margaret Chos work that i know of. Ive only seen one other (Notorious C.H.O.) so far while the other im waiting for when im in the mood for some standup again. Ive also seen her on Comedy Central a time or two and watched her tv show "All American Girl". Does it show im a fan? LOL! ;D
But this was a different Margaret than i had seen before. She had her usual topic that outlines all of her shows: Acceptance. Acceptance for gays, acceptance for Asians, acceptance for overweight people, especially women in her industry. Im not a regular part of any of these worlds (Im pretty average in my weight, im not Asian, and i live in the midwest where if you even have a homosexual thought they crucify you), but somehow whenever Margaret speaks i can relate it to my own life somehow. Its all about wanting to love and be loved.
What was different about this show was that it was after her television series had been cancelled. So, while the first half hour or so was about homosexual lifestyle, the bulk of the show was about her being Asian and an overweight woman. She isnt afraid to point out the steriotypes. She spoke about how people hadnt seen an Asian role model like her before because she ###"...didnt play the violin. I didnt f"k Woody Allen."### She also mentioned how much the producers worried about her weight and how much they made her worry about her weight. It was a devistating thing when her show got cancelled because she was replaced by Drew Carrey who she says she loves but she still quips ###"They cancelled my show and replaced me with Drew Carrey because hes so skinny."###
Margaret talks openly about her hardships during these hard times. The standup becomes her own little soapbox like usual, but this time it feels more effective (at least for a Cho fan who cares a lot about her). Her routine slips back and forth between funny and serious. A couple of times people werent sure if she was making a joke or not so nervous laughter could be heard in small protions throughout the presentation. This was definently a theraputic act for Margaret and, after hearing what she went through, im glad she survived to tell her tale.
In the end Margaret comes to terms with who she is and the world around her. Even her wieght is no longer an issue. ###"Loosing ten pounds is a full time job so im handing in my two weeks notice and walking out the door."### She even has some funny revelations. She tells a story of one of her first jobs was presenting on a lesbian cruise. She says she slept with one of the women on board so she ###"...went through this whole thing am i straight? Am i gay? And then i realized, im just slutty."### Through the pain Margaret is still able to joke about herself. And the impressions of her mother are always worth the watch. Couldnt get through a review without mentioning those. ;D She does use a lot of vulgarity and she isnt afraid to say anything, just for some fair warning.
Margaret decides "Im The One That I Want" and theres no reason for her to be any other way.
