Strangers With Candy was one of my favorite TV shows, and “Yes You Can’t” is the single funniest half hour ever recorded. (1) It’s funnier than The Spirit of Christmas, if you can believe such a thing is possible.

So why am I not excited by the news that the Strangers With Candy movie is coming out in June?

Sadly, the early reviews were pretty bad when it was on the film festival circuit looking for a distributor. That was more than a year ago. This review on IMDB is pretty weak, also. The reviewer describes it as a tamer version of the TV show.

I guess I’ll just stay home and reread Wigscape.

Ahh, who am I kidding. Brain Candy got awful reviews and we loved it. At Shaun of the Dead, Deana and I were the only people in the theater who laughed. I’m there opening day.

(1) Yes, I’ve seen Chuckles Bites The Dust. Meh. Furthermore, I don’t care what anybody says: I don’t love Lucy.
