Storyline

Sarah Silverman appears before an audience in Los Angeles with several sketches, taped outside the theater, intercut into the stand-up performance. Themes include race, sex, and religion. Her comic persona is a self-centered hipster, brash and clueless about her political incorrectness. A handful of musical numbers punctuate the performance.

Critics consensus

“Silverman's brand of humor is dirty, offensive, and, judging from this film, very, very funny.”

Radically witty comedian Sarah Silverman–who’s been lurking around the edges of TV and movies since she debuted on Saturday Night Live in 1993–gets her big coming-out party.

Her comic persona is that of a clueless and politically incorrect hipster who says terrible things without being aware of their shock value. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.

RTDaily Telegraph (UK)Aug 1, 2008

Her high-wire stage performance is unmissable all the same, particularly when she's taking aim at such untouchable sacred cows as Martin Luther King. "They only mention the good stuff! He was a litterbug."

In the end, Sarah Silverman: Jesus Is Magic (I won't give away what the title means; Silverman's film has been predigested enough already) is a good date-night movie.
