Movie Reviews of The Queens of Comedy
Movie Review: Past reviewers have made continuous comparisons STOP IT!!!
Summary: 3 Stars
After watching the Queens I asked those with me what was funnier ....The Kings or the Queens ....the response......They are both good but in different ways, the content, ambience, the audience present - VERY DIFFERENT. I thought it was very funny Adele was the funniest, the host was mediocre and Sommore and Monique were very entertaining...Yes the sexual content was a dominant feature but it was not crude and distasteful (well maybe once) but it was the audience that made the at home viewer doubt the quality of the comedy (as we South Londoners say " They were so DRY!!!!!!) I don't know if they came straight from church but it seemed they all felt guilty for laughing. And they were old ... and everyone knows you shouldn't cuss in fornt of grown folk so that kinda kills the vibe. As a 22 year old I thought it was funny ..., don't expect a great Bernie Mac performance but do expect a good time!! Go on you can trust meMovie Review: Not Queens, maybe Princesses

The Queens of Comedy would have been a whole lot better if they had another subject to talk about other than Sex. I know that sex and comedy goes hand in hand, but the ability to tell a story about anything is what makes great comedians really stand out from just ordinary. Adele Givens was by far the funniest of the ladies, she has actually toned down her cursing if you can believe that. Sommore was the next funniest because she at least talked about her stint in jail. Mo'nique is just loud. I kept thinking you have a microphone, why you have to be so loud. During the little shorts that they showed between the stage performances she tried to over talk everyone around her,hmmmm maybe she was deprived of attention as a child. Laura Hayes was the MC and she is just not funny. It is much better to watch if you have a group of friends over and you have been drinking.Movie Review: Pretty Good

When I first watched this movie I was expecting to see a show much like "The Original Kings Of Comedy." In many ways it was the same, but I don't think it was quite as funny. Don't get me wrong, these ladies really did a good job, but it just wasn't quite the same. I think my favorite performer in this film was S'more. She was hilarious! All in all, this wasn't a terrible comedy film, but it was missing the spark that the "Kings" had.
Movie Review: Plodding
Summary: 3 Stars
Not that they aren't funny, they just pale in comparision to the Kings. The humor in this is harsher than the men, and that is most likely the biggest failing. The men work on you with humor, the women work to shock you. They fail most of the time. You will laugh, but it is not the same as the Kings.Movie Review: Too much cussing takes away from the comedy
Summary: 2 Stars
Loud is right, loud with the cussing!!!
I had been wanting to see this DVD for a while. I really enjoy Sommore and Mo'Nique, but this DVD was a let down. These ladies have no problems discussing just about any topic from spending 5 days in jail, sex, black men, sex, children, sex, marriage, and sex. You also got some behind the scenes footage, which to me was really not necessary. I knew better then to compare this to the Kings of Comedy. I mean why even bother? I knew it would be different, but the titles were similar so I guess that's why people made the comparison. I have no problem with cussing. It just seemed extremely excessive, and it was not funny. That's part of the problem I have with some comics, the use of cussing as a filler to help expand their act. You don't have to cuss to be funny. When I could laugh, I enjoyed some of the jokes, but aside of that, it's not gut busting funny. It's not hysterical. This was a major, major let down. You do not need to use excessive foul language to be funny!!!
