In the new issue of Entertainment Weekly, there is a rave review which says in part: In her signature squawk, the woman who crashed the men’s-only comedy club chronicles her highs (being anointed by Johnny Carson in the 60s, winning The Celebrity Apprentice) and the lows (the suicide of husband Edgar, enduring crummy Indian-casino gigs in Wisonson).

Joan Rivers’ resilience and work ethic are inspiring – it’s one of the best films (fiction or non) of the year.

The reviewer writes that even if you have seen the film, the DVD extras alone are worth it because they include Rivers’ F-bomb laden commentary. At one point while watching herself perform stand-up while pregnant. she refers to herself as a “fat little pig” and jokes: “I was so pregnant that Melissa’s feet were hanging out.”
