Negative Positive
Title: Not "Wild and Crazy Guy", but then again what is?
Review: Fallon is the new comedy superstar-to-be of today's SNL cast, and he shows off his talent here... especially his musical impressions, which (if you've seen his SNL work) are as spot-on as Weird Al at his best.However, as others have noted already, this first effort doesn't rank up there with the best from Pryor, Martin and Carlin... heck, not even close. The problem is that Jimmy is almost TOO hip... his delivery and choice of material is spot-on for a single performance in front of a raucous college crowd, but there's not enough humor here to sustain listening over and over. (Think of McDonald's and their "1/4 pound before cooking" -- then imagine cooking that poor burger three or four times over.)I think Jimmy is a real winner... and, come to think of it, Adam Sandler's first album wasn't his best, either. There's always tomorrow for dreams to come true... I predict we'll see much better from the big JF in the future.
Is the review positive or negative?
