Amazon.com: She stole your heart (or turned your stomach, depending on your perspective) with her show-stealing delivery in the hit documentary The Aristocrats. With Jesus Is Magic, comedienne extraordinaire Sarah Silverman is hell-bent on marking her own territory. Jesus Is Magic is a more or less a one-hour variety show, littered with musical numbers and comedic vignettes wedged between video footage of her live act. Though humorous in parts, most of the vignettes and songs are a little bland. You can't help but think they are mere fillers to stretch the film to an hour. The real essence of the film, however, is Sarah Silverman live on stage, mic in hand, delivering the goods. After sitting through Jesus, you will undoubtedly feel Sarah Silverman's magic and find her extremely funny. You may, however, not be able to pinpoint why. Silverman's act is extremely crass, vulgar, obnoxious, disgusting, heavy on race-laced humor, and downright gross in parts. The amazing thing about Sarah Silverman's material is that if you repeated it to a friend, or read it in an article, you probably would think it was base, childish, and just not that funny. But what makes the material sparkle is Sarah's deadpan, blunt, matter-of-fact delivery and perfect comedic timing. Not to mention she is super foxy, which has a way of amplifying her humor for better or worse. Jesus Is Magic is proof that Sarah Silverman is the smartest and funniest comedienne on the circuit today. We just hope the next release is a full performance, minus the filler. --Rob Bracco

Rating: - Face Ourselves Laughing!
Jesus is Magic is Sarah Silverman at her best! I got to see this film in the theater when it was released in 2005.
I remember just laughing, laughing and oh,.. I remember laughing! Sarah is very concious, intellegent is dealing with rascism straight on. Laugh at yourself!
Rating: - Risque fun for everyone
Without a doubt, everyone should see this movie. It's beyond funny with all the comedic shorts, skits and music mixed in with her standup. Warning: You have to LOVE Sarah Silverman in order to understand the pure genius behind this movie. And I DO love her. You should too.
Rating: - Pure genius!!!
I'm sure Jesus thanks you Sarah Silverman (even though a personal meeting with you would put His Second Coming Campaign in serious jeopardy). I bet Martin Luther King thanks you (even though his legacy is fictitiously tarnished). I bet even Hitler thanks you (given that he survived death and passed Essence of Humanity 101-doubtful). From start to finish this is a well crafted giant bong hit of subtle and outrageous humor, proving that Sarah Silverman could be a powerful force in television giving ... Read More
Rating: - One of the best
This is one of the funniest stand-ups I have ever seen. This woman has one of the dirtiest mouths I've ever heard. It's offensive (to some people) and awesome.
Rating: - Eh, could be better
Yes, I laughed at this movie, but something about it just didn't ring well with me at all! I love Sarah Silverman and her irreverent humor, I love her sitcom on Comedy Central, but I found this movie got very tiresome after the first 20 minutes or so.
Buy it if you're a Sarah fan. Otherwise, it might just be a rental for you.
