Title: Just not very funny, that's the blunt fact of the matter...
Review: I've got nothing against Joe Queenan's curmudgeon act--heck, that's been a staple among critics with attitude forever. But some indescrible something is lacking in his work. His jokes are all root and no tree, most of the time. I dunno, maybe it's something to do with his delivery. Mr. Cranky at mrcranky.com is good for a crude bellylaugh. P. J. O'Rourke, when he lampoons pop culture, usually puts a wicked twist in his observations. Queenan to me just seems more windy than pithy.You can add a star to this review if you are a knowledgeable movie lover, and you laugh when an actor's name serves as the punchline in a joke.
Is the review positive or negative?
