A Disappointing Continuation

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

Originally included with copies of the Werewolves & Lollipops album and contains footage of a set leading up to the WW&L album taping, including alternate material and alternate versions of Lollipop jokes. Terribly shot but probably his strongest set available on video, although not as polished or well executed as the album version. The jokes include pointed political commentary, personal insights on growing up in a small town and, later, working in the entertainment industry and good old-fashioned dick jokes. It should also be noted that, looking back at this some years later, it's nice watching Patton with some fire in him as there's no question age has dimmed that spark a bit. Definitely a landmark work in the alternative comedy movement. Track this down if you're a fan of alt comedy or just bored of mainstream comics.

This feels more like a film starring only Patton Oswalt, than a stand up comedy special. The small club atmosphere provided by the 40 Watt Club, which accurately describes the lighting, makes it seem so much more organic than a large venue. The creative intro devised by Patton Oswalt and Henry Owings also add to the unique feel of this stand up special, making it appear to be in Pattons private performance chamber. If you've never heard Patton Oswalt before you are in for a real treat. This was my first exposure to this comedic being and certainly not my last. I found this for rent on Netflix, however this video was an accompaniment of his CD. (If you read this Patton, you should hook up a copy of your work ;)
