Strangers With Candy / USA / 2005
A fan of the original Comedy Central series, I was skeptical of whether or not a film studio could preserve the off-center humor and demented purity of the characters, even with the same writers and actors (and now David Letterman). Though my skepticism was soon banished, I couldn’t help but feel let down. Yes, the humor was well-written and delivered with trained perfection, especially from stars Amy Sedaris and Stephen Colbert, but there wasn’t enough. For me, this felt like an episode stretched into 90 minutes. Still, if you don’t laugh at Kristen Johnston’s Coach Divers, you don’t have a pulse.
