Film Review | John Mulaney & The Sack Lunch Bunch (2019)
This is some bottled chaos. This “kid’s special” is so self-aware and purposely planned for kids and adults to sit down and go WTF together. The cast of kids is amazing and talented, I kind of hope to see a follow-up with them from John Mulaney?
The premise of confronting fears is the dark undertone here, but it’s playful enough and edited so well that it weirdly grounds the hilarity of the written music pieces and sketches. Everything is so varied and frenetic that it makes for a very fun movie-length piece. On top of that, we get plenty of off-the-walls celebrity cameos. It does feel unfocused at times, but it’s variety so maybe that’s OK?
126 of 365.
