For her to be getting on everyone's last nerves about having a special, I thought this standup would be immaculate. It was quite the opposite and worse. I'm not the type to go online and write reviews about anything, unless it's really bad, or really good. And this was so bad. I literally created an IMDb account just to write this. I was about 20 minutes in when I realized, damn, this is not funny at all. But I had at least 40 minutes left so I wanted to give it a chance. It literally just got worse and worse. A bunch of unnecessary cursing and yelling without being funny. No punchlines. When she started crying, I almost threw my phone! It was horrible.

Not what I expected but I still love her!
I absolutely love Monique and want to see her win. And continue to win. The cussing what a bit overkill. MF this and MF that ninja this and ninja that. It was over done to the point where I was focusing more on how much she was cussing than the actual punch lines. Some of the build up in her storytelling didn't hit like it should which was a little disappointing. I really wanted her to nail this one but it was quite there. I think she had great content but the lengthy build up to the punch line that didn't actually land made the whole thing a little off.
But I still love Monique and can't wait for more from her.
Pure Garbage
I was hoping for a serious comeback after all the hoopla surrounding Mo'nique's public outrage over unfair pay with Netflix. Maybe now we see why she was offered $500K (and I don't think this special was worth that much).
It was non-stop cussing from the onset with every expletive you could imagine coming out of her mouth with no punchlines whatsoever. Me and my wife watched about 15 minutes and didn't laugh once...not once. It's sad, because I was hoping for so much more, but maybe Netflix simply let her put the nail in her own cauffin by releasing this tragedy.
She needs writers and better material, because filling every sentence with MFs, Ns, Fers, Bees, ain't gonna cut it. And I do mean every sentence.
