November 15, 2009Sarah Silverman: Who cares? Different religions. I guess the only time it's an issue I suppose would be if you're having a baby, you have to figure out how you want to raise your baby or whatever, which still would not be an issue for us. Because you know, we'd just be honest, an...( read more)

December 28, 2008If you took away all the musical numbers than this could have been a lot better.

November 15, 2008I'm not sure if Silverman is an edgy genius or an intensely irritating attention seeking egotist. A bit like Robin Williams. She undoubtedly has no fear and pricks your conceptions on all the taboos. Her relentless desire to shock does get a little wearing though.

August 3, 2007I had never watched Sarah Silverman before, so I didn't know what to expect, but I didnt really find her funny at all. And her songs were really dumb.

September 6, 2009I'm not one for stand-up comedy, but I found this show downright hilarious. Fantastic delivery, and refreshing to see a woman on stage.

September 3, 2009what a load of crap , a disgrace to human life this bitch needs a bullet in her fuckin ass

August 23, 2009I'm not "politically correct" by any means, but Sarah Silverman is either a total racist, or a total idiot when she tries to push her "edginess" (racism) as comedy. "I'm gonna keep saying 'N****R' again and again, and since I'm a woman and a Jew, I should be able to get away with...( read more)

Jesus Is Magic may be a bit too much for anyone but the most hardcore Silverman fan. full review

If you can stand the profanity, the crudeness, and the merciless strafing of all things noble and sacrosanct, then you'll find yourself huddled over in a painful ball of nonstop guffaws. full review

The movie lures us into that forbidden garden where the funniest things are precisely the things we're not supposed to laugh at, only to yank us out of that paradise and draw our attention to the thin... full review

Sarah Silverman is a skilled performer, and Jesus Is Magic is occasionally very funny, but don't be fooled: naughty as she may seem, she's playing it safe.

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
Sarah Silverman is the most outrageously funny woman alive. full review

Not quite as raunchy, but twice as offensive, as The Aristocrats. full review

June 12, 2006Great stand-up comedy movie , with some skits and songs that are freakin funny.The musical numbers help punctuate the jokes for sure.
SS loves to use racial stereotypes, both to snap her audience to attention . Silverman uses “Magic” to ridiculule taboos in her own observantly hilarious ways.
A word of warning: “Magic” is not for everyone. There's complete vulgarity in her act, her jokes might offend some. A sample joke: A desired post-9/11 advertisement for a major airline? “American Airlines: First Through the Towers.”
