I'm the one that I want
This film captures comedian Margaret Cho at home in San Francisco, in her first appearance at the Warfield Theater. The spine of the show is the appalling true story of her experiences starring in the short-lived ABC sitcom "All-American Girl," the first mainstream television comedy built around an Asian-American family. Although her character was based on herself, the network decided to revamp her appearance and her personality. Her kidneys collapse, her show is canceled, and she begins a descent into booze, pills, and self-loathing. Ms. Cho spins lack of self-esteem into comic gold, and the eventual resurrection of her own voice, her own shape, and satisfaction with being the one she wants.

- ""Named one of Entertainment Weekly's "Great Performances of the Year" in 1999, the critically acclaimed I'm the one that I want is comedian Margaret Cho's raunchy and hysterically funny stand-up concert. Filmed live at The Warfield in Margaret's hometown of San Francisco, I'm the one that I want is Margaret Cho at her very best - funny, shocking and irreverent. As one of the country's most visible Asian Americans, she has a unique perspective on identity and acceptance. As one of the country's funniest and most quoted personalities, she takes no prisoners. I'm the one that I want is filled with dead-on insights about the experiences of being a woman in the spotlight from someone who has seen the highs and lows of life"--Container."
