تايلور توملينسون: تحقيق جميع الأهداف

فيلم جيد!

فيلم جيد!

Of the two blond Taylors who've become super popular in the last few years within their respective fields, I'll take Tomlinson over Swift any day. Have It All is not quite as good as her previous two specials, and so I think there might have been a little disappointment for me as a result. Quarter-Life Crisis was great, and then Look At You felt like one of the funniest and most insightful/balanced I'd ever heard. Have It All is still strong. Most of the jokes landed and Tomlinson's honesty and introspection are still compelling to listen to, and probably would be even if there weren't any jokes. Parts of this still hit hard and there was something of an emotional rollercoaster to be had, what with laughing one minute and then feeling despondent the next when she gets very real. I just don't think the ride was as consistent or thrilling as previous specials, but it still felt like high-quality stuff and I'm still keen to listen to/watch whatever she puts out next.

HUGE fan of the last two Taylor Tomlinson specials. I've been an evangelist for her cause. This special, I don't know what happened! It's like she suddenly has so much vitriol for men! I hate to sound like I'm partaking in the "everybody hates straight white men" conspiracy, because I generally shush people that tell me that the world is out to get us, but she makes generalizations of swm that are really bizarre. It's like she's had a habit of dating REALLY obnoxious guys and somehow crystallized this into a man bashing special. Really disappointing because I was HYPED for this and her late night special! Taylor! Where did you go!? What happened!? Honestly feels a little betraying. It makes me wonder if maybe some demographics really do feel like it's open season on swm. I generally ignore such sentiment, but there is a difference between equal and playful stereotyping, and full on disgracing.

Taylor starts her newest comedy special with a dating rant, then transitions to a dating rant, before transitioning to a dating rant. At some point it hits you, this is just an hour long dating rant. When the best part of the special is her asking the audience for sleep advice, you know it's a bad special. The whole thing felt like stale bread. Even the audience grew wary of her never ending dating rant. She has good energy, but doesn't have anything interesting to say. She briefly mentions how she might be bi-sexual, but after hearing about dating only men for an hour, it's not to be believed. There was no standing ovation at the end for good reason, she didn't deserve one. She mentions on stage how talented she is, but someone should tell her the truth: she's not that talented at comedy. This special is stale.

Taylor Tomlinson's previous specials were comedic genius, were Taylor used her history of anxiety, depression and her growing up ever so brilliantly to create a show that wasn't only relatable as she touched many aspects of every-day life, but was also hilarious and comedy gold. But unfortunately, this third special doesn't even come close to their predecessors. Taylor uses old jokes and repeats them endlessly, and it doesn't take long before you realize that her entire special is about one thing only: dating. And the dating jokes are not even good ones as she rehashes old material. There are very few new jokes thrown in there, but they're not really good. Interaction with audience was also awkward and weird. I've seen her interact with audiences in many YouTube videos of shows she's done in clubs, and she's actually very good. She wasn't trying too hard and was real, genuine and funny. But in "Have it All" it's scripted and it's painfully shows. There's nothing natural about the interactions, and for some reason Taylor resorts to "insulting" the ones she interacts with, and not in a smart and funny way. For someone who films their third special, she also seemed very uncomfortable and nervous. She was talking way too fast like she was hurrying or trying to do as much jokes as she can, which also hurt her delivery- which is usually very good. If there'll be a fourth special, I'd probably watch. I still believe Taylor is very talented and very funny, but she needs to come with new material and be more herself. That's what made her previous shows so good. Here it felt like she's trying too hard, and the end result has left a lot to be desired. I guess we truly can't have it all sometimes.

I am a big fan of Taylor Tomlinson for a while now and enjoyed her two previous Netflix specials a lot. I saw this show in Brussels and now again on Netflix, I laughed so much both times, absolutely loved it! Such an honest, authentic and funny show. I always love how vulnerable Taylor can be on stage, it's just such an amazing type of comedy. As in her previous shows, she shares insights about her mental health, working on herself, her doubts and feelings about regular adult things we're all feeling and turning 30. The way she delivers her jokes is of course excellent and made me laugh throughout. My absolute favorite comedian eveeeeer.

We had a really hard time watching the special even just halfway through. The constant gloating and mentioning that she has a Netflix specials and that she's so important really got old. She seems to have a really negative view of people who are married and continues to talk about how boring and sad they are. Since she has no idea what it actually means to be married it was kind of embarrassing to watch her trying to describe it. Unfortunately, we found the jokes to be stale and it was hard to watch in a "I feel bad for her" way. We turned it off, and then tried to watch it again the next night in hopes that things would turn out better, but it almost seem like there was a sense of insecurity about her in incessant gloating and bragging about having Netflix specials that was just a huge turn off. Her other specials were so good and came from such a humble place but this one just missed the mark unfortunately.

Had really high expectations coming into this, as I'd watched her first two specials loadsss of times and quickly established that she was my favourite comedian. The fact that I wasn't disappointed is no mean feat, and I genuinely did laugh out loud several times. 9 as opposed to 10 just because I still think she's got more potential, but thoroughly enjoyed it. She says this one is more like Quarter Life Crisis, but I disagree, and feel like it's pretty balanced in terms of the influences of it's predecessors. Definitely adding this to the roster of specials to watch again, and so yep, if you liked her first two, I'd recommend this one :))

Another great special from Taylor - she knows her lane and she sticks to it. She has recurrent themes but she's always got fresh material and doesn't flog every topic to death. I think Taylor's humour lands especially hard for me because we loosely have a similar background and are of a similar demographic, but the way she delivers personal anecdotes (especially heavy stuff) and a hilarious way is amazing. It's a great outlet to watch, as well as being entertaining, and I'm saying that as an annoying married person, not a fellow single person 🤣 I've enjoyed each special and hope she keeps coming back with more!
