 Very entertaining, if slightly thin documentary April 20, 2010
K. Gordon
Very entertaining, if slightly amateurish and thin documentary about Alan Abel, a
sort of Sasha Baron Cohen of the 60s and 70s, who played politically inspired hoaxes
on the press. While the film itself isn't amazing on a technique level, Abel as
a character, and his bits are so funny that it makes it worthwhile. And there's
something innately touching about a daughter making a film as a tribute to her
wonderful, eccentric, father.
Plus, the DVD extras - with lots of footage of Abel doing his thing - are even more fun than
the film, and help really make this worth seeing.
 A Fantastic Documentary About a World Class Hoax Artist April 10, 2009
William D. Geerhart (Los Angeles, CA United States)
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This is a brilliant and entertaining documentary about Alan Abel, the legendary hoaxer whose pranks rise to the level of great art. Among other triumphs, he was the first (and only?) person to trick the New York Times into publishing an obituary for someone who was still breathing (himself). The film, by Jenny Abel and Jeff Hockett, provides a fascinating insight into Mr. Abel's motivations while also providing a deliriously funny retrospective of his greatest pranks. This movie is a must see for anyone who delights in the gullibility of the media and enjoys being in on a good joke!
