Back in October 2019,
Joker director Todd Phillips
commented that he had left making comedic movies because the current political climate made it impossible to make comedies anymore, everybody was just too sensitive nowadays for good comedy to even exist. Which is true, after all. We haven't had any good provocative comedies in recent years. Except for Boots Riley's
Sorry to Bother You. Or Olivia Wilde's
Booksmart. Or Taika Waititi's
Jojo Rabbit. Or Riley Stearns'
The Art of Self-Defense. Or the subject of this review, Sophie Lorain's
Slut in a Good Way There simply isn't a single provocative comedy being made today, let alone one made up
to the gold standard of wit found in the comedic masterworks of Todd Phillips.
