Notorious C.H.O. (2002)
Funny enough, but fairly disappointing -- Cho's material this time is extraordinarily uneven with sharp sicko-observational humor tempered by dull scatology-for-scatology's-sake material. Cho's occasional predilection for telegraphing and stepping on punchlines is also amplified for some reason. And the opening scenes outside the club are lazy time-filler. It's still damn funny (highlight: the story about Daddy), but if you'd told me that Margaret Cho's newest stand-up film would be about as good as Martin Lawrence's, I woulda slapped you.
Grade: B-
