"Money Shot" finds Cummings riffing on a wide range of topics chiefly, the differences between men and women and how both tend to behave in relationships.

She's a foul-mouthed "guy's girl'' who surrenders none of her femininity in order to be accepted by the male half, and she's just as honest and critical of women as she is of men. Her act never turns into ''we're smart, you're not". Well, mostly.
