Without You I'm Nothing

Sandra is very much an acquired taste, a love-or-hate entertainer. I have partially acquired that taste, having seen this show on English TV. I managed to track down the DVD, which is unavailable in the UK. If you have never seen the unusual style and act of Sandra, don't bother. If however, you have been intrigued by her unique act, as I was, then this is a 'definitive' must-have. To my mind, it is worth the price for her rendition of the classic ' Me and Mrs Jones ' which is spine-tingling.

I remember seeing this DVD a long time ago when it was a special on HBO. I recently found it and purchased it. I laughed as much now as I did then. Highly recommended if you like raw, in your face, comedy.

I remember seeing this movie when it first came out. My best friend and I went to an arthouse movie theatre in New York City.

I'm not sure even this jaded New York audience was prepared for what they were about to witness.

From the first moment, the movie is in your face. You're alarmed. You're thinking, "How am I supposed to react to this? Is this .......funny? offensive? What is this?" Then you laugh and can't stop laughing.

Of course my friend and I were the only two people in the theatre hysterical through the whole thing. The others were just stunned into shocked silence. eek! ha ha ha ha! *lol*

We were coughing, choking, passing soda, falling onto the floor!

The best.....wait! THE BEST BEST BEST PART - especially if you're a woman, ESPECIALLY if you lived through the 1960's is the Burt Bacharach/BRASIL '66 tribute (oh yes - they go THERE!)

They're all in white! Everything is white! It's AMAAAAAAAAAAAAAZZZZZING....... the look of love. AHHHHHH ha ha ha haha

You'll run for your Sergio Mendes collection and will never let it go after this!

You must must buy this IF ONLY FOR THAT PART! I'm shocked nobody has mentioned it - it's PRICELESS!

The other part of this movie that not enough people pay attention to is the music. The arrangements are off the wall sensational. Patrice Rushen is an absolute musical GENIUS! The way the music compliments the comedy and the dark edge is unlike anything I have ever seen!

Are the jokes elitist? Yes! Are the jokes urban? Yes! Is it wildly funny and dangerous? YES!

A must see!
A must buy for a Queer or Feminist Movie Collection!

What are you waiting for darling?!!!

I have been a Sandra Bernhard fan for a long long time and this is a great DVD. There's a few celebrity mentions, but mostly they are just funny stories, and outrageous performances. I can watch it over and over and laugh every time. She is a one of the best! I loved her "sermon" on feeling the funk. Overall a very entertaining DVD! Lots of dark humor!

This movie is an odd duck. If you watched it in 1990 when it came out then you'd probably think it was funny (like I did) but after buying it in 2006 and watching it again - I could barely sit through it! Sandra's humor is very "New York" and in some ways very sophisticated so if you don't know the name of designer furniture and clothing many of her jokes will go over your head as could many of the jewish and ethnic jokes. If you're into that type of humor then you might find it hysterical. It's a musical in case you didn't know but some of the songs are VERY SLOW (and, um, sorry to say... boring.) At the end of the movie she does strip down to a stars & stripes bikini and dances away to Prince (formerly known as) - which could be worth the price of admission for some.
