 "With Notorious C.H.O. Cho proves she has the stuff to stand tall with Pryor, Carlin and Murphy."
-- Jeffrey M. Anderson, SAN FRANCISCO EXAMINER
"Notorious C.H.O. has oodles of vulgar highlights."
-- Jason Anderson, EYE WEEKLY
"Accenting her already outrageous sense of humor, intellect, frankness, and timing, are her classic frozen moment poses.
"
-- Ross Anthony, HOLLYWOOD REPORT CARD
 "Though her fans will assuredly have their funny bones tickled, others will find their humor-seeking dollars best spent elsewhere."
-- Rod Armstrong, REEL.COM
"It's hard to quibble with a flick boasting this many genuine cackles, but Notorious C.H.O. still feels like a promising work-in-progress."
-- Sean Burns, PHILADELPHIA WEEKLY
"Cho, who's first concert film was more like a group therapy session than comedy, lightens up considerably for her second"
-- Laura Clifford, REELING REVIEWS
"Cho’s latest comic set isn’t as sharp or as fresh as I’m the One That I Want... but it’s still damn funny stuff."
-- David Cornelius, AMAZING COLOSSAL WEBSITE
"Cho continues her exploration of the outer limits of raunch with considerable brio."
-- David Ehrenstein, NEW TIMES
"I laughed so hard my hemorrhoids popped out of my ass"
-- Thom Fowler, HOLLYWOOD BITCHSLAP
"Gloriously straight from the vagina."
-- Ed Gonzalez, SLANT MAGAZINE
"The film benefits greatly from a less manic tone than its predecessor, as Cho appears to have settled comfortably into her skin."
-- Ernest Hardy, L.A. WEEKLY
"Cho, a clarion voice of reason in an unreasonable world, has a rare comic brilliance, incisiveness and relatability."
-- Christine James, BOXOFFICE MAGAZINE
"Cho's timing is priceless."
-- Bruce Kirkland, JAM! MOVIES

"Cho's fearless in picking apart human foibles, not afraid to lay her life bare in front of an audience. Her delivery and timing are flawless."
-- Jeffrey Bruner, DES MOINES REGISTER
"Cho has expanded her repertoire [since her last cincert film] to one that, at least part of the time, has appeal across the board."
-- Robin Clifford, REELING REVIEWS
"Not since Richard Pryor's searingly funny, introspective concerts, has a
comedian made me laugh through the tears the way Margaret Cho has."
-- Rose 'Bams' Cooper, 3BLACKCHICKS REVIEW
"Topics that could make a sailor blush - but lots of laughs."
-- Cherryl Dawson and Leigh Ann Palone, THEMOVIECHICKS.COM
"Though she gets a little preachy at the end, Cho finds wonderfully outrageous ways to get her points across."
-- Marshall Fine, JOURNAL NEWS
"Raunchy though [Cho's] material is, it embraces all comers, regardless of gender, sexuality, race or ethnicity. And it's never been sharper -- or funnier -- than it is here."
-- Ken Fox, TV GUIDE'S MOVIE GUIDE
"As comedic spotlights go, Notorious C.H.O. hits all the verbal marks it should."
-- Rachel Gordon, FILMCRITIC.COM
"The difference between Cho and most comics is that her confidence in her material is merited."
-- Chris Hewitt, ST. PAUL PIONEER PRESS
"If you're part of her targeted audience, you'll cheer. Otherwise, maybe."
-- Harvey S. Karten, COMPUSERVE
"Cho's fans are sure to be entertained; it's only fair in the interest of full disclosure to say that -- on the basis of this film alone -- I'm not one of them."
-- Jim Lane, SACRAMENTO NEWS & REVIEW

"Where last time jokes flowed out of Cho's life story, which provided an engrossing dramatic through line, here the comedian hides behind obviously constructed routines."
-- Stephen Cole, GLOBE AND MAIL
"Cho offers some of her best material to date: jokes and stories that will no doubt embarrass and haunt her later in life -- a sign of truly raw, personal comedy."
-- Robert K. Elder, CHICAGO TRIBUNE
"For 95 often hilarious minutes, [Cho] riffs on the diciness of colonics, on straight versus gay personal ads, on how men would act if they had periods, and on the perils of a certain outré sexual practice."
-- Owen Gleiberman, ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY
"Brilliant, over-the-edge concert film."
-- Stephen Holden, NEW YORK TIMES
"Captures the raw comic energy of one of our most flamboyant female comics."
-- Kirk Honeycutt, HOLLYWOOD REPORTER
"A movie that will surely be profane, politically charged music to the ears of Cho's fans."
-- Ann Hornaday, WASHINGTON POST
"A hit- and-miss affair, consistently amusing but not as outrageous or funny as Cho may have intended or as imaginative as one might have hoped."
-- Mick LaSalle, SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE
"The best comedy concert movie I've seen since Cho's previous concert comedy film, I'm the One That I Want, in 2000."
-- Terry Lawson, DETROIT FREE PRESS
"[Cho's face is] an amazing slapstick instrument, creating a scrapbook of living mug shots."
-- Wesley Morris, BOSTON GLOBE
"A raunchy and frequently hilarious follow-up to the gifted Korean American stand-up's I'm the One That I Want."
-- Michael O'Sullivan, WASHINGTON POST
|

"An hour and a half of joyful solo performance."
-- Moira MacDonald, SEATTLE TIMES
