Act makes for a better CD than film
30 April 2000
i got a copy of julia sweeney's god said ha on CD last summer and have come to really love it. most of her act is really funny but what makes it so great is that sweeney takes you into her personal life. you really feel like you are a close friend who is being told all the intimate details of her struggles throughout her terrible ordeals. when i finally got to see the movie on tv last week, i was slightly disappointed. the CD contains about 20 extra minutes of material which are excellent. i was particularly disappointed with the camera direction and the way sweeney put cheesy music behind some of the more dramatic dialogue. the film tricks- such as lighting and closeups- that are used to supposedly enhance the act just end up taking away from it. i highly recommend anyone to pick up her CD but her movie is just not as good.
