Highly entertaining, in a casual, home-movie way.

More a love letter from daughter Jenny to her father than a worthy portrait of Abel's caustic, media-savvy and mind-bending social comedy.

A host of hoaxes far funnier than the best of Candid Camera!

There's no denying that Alan Abel is a character, and any glimpse behind the schemes is better than none.
