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.

The movie could also do a better job of explaining the inner forces that drive Abel - and especially his wife, one of his regular co-conspirators. Such gaps, though, don't seriously detract from the movie's roguish pull.

Very enjoyable, mostly because of the subject. And you can see it free on Hulu.
