Very Funny but Such a Friggin' Let Down!

'Strangers with Candy' based off the deliciously neurotic Comedy Central original series by the same name, is filled with such ingeniously funny moments. Too bad that's all they are -- moments. 'Strangers with Candy' had so much potential, but it... Full review

This is by far the most ridiculous and retarded movie I have ever seen. While the movie does have its few comedic moments, overall "Strangers With Candy" is just plain stupid. I have seen many "stupid" comedies, but this one is... Full review

What remains remarkable in the translation from Comedy Central TV show to mainstream feature film is Amy Sedaris' complete lack of vanity in replaying her comic alter-ego, the aptly named Jerri Blank, a 47-year old ex-con who decides to return... Full review

Thank yewww, "The Closer," for giving the divine Amy Sedaris a prime guest-starring role.
Yet another of her accomplishments: mocking an oblivious Martha Stewart on Stewart's show when Sedaris was promoting "I Like You!

Strangers With Candy itself was considerably risqué and I doubt whatever she's developing will be suitable for network television.
I have been lucky enough to see Amy Sedaris live on two occasions (as well as watching many episodes of Strangers With Candy ) and think she has buckets of talent.
