Stream hit shows, movies & more from top channels - live and on demand. We're not just dealing with reliable comedic performers like Sedaris and Stephen Colbert (who both co-wrote the screenplay with fellow co-star and director Paul Dinello), but also with stars of the future (Chris Pratt, Justin Theroux) and hilariously deployed cameos (Allison Janney, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Ian Holm). When Jerri finds herself the victim of sexual harassment, she must decide whether to put out, put up, or shut up. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. The movie's cast is stacked. Tracked 190 Times Concluded. First, I agree with Trudy (another reviewer) that the 2nd season was the best, the 1st next, and the 3rd season last. And yet, if the show hits the daffy highs this movie does, then it's safe to say I'm already a fan, because the stuff that hit in this movie really hit.

Seasons and episodes availability varies between streaming services. She has been to prison several times and wants to be a popular student at Flatpoint High. Strangers with Candy doesn't work as a stand-alone comedy movie, but it is a must-see if you are a fan of the show. Despite running 80 minutes without credits, this movie hits some dry stretches, particularly in the middle, like the writers were still getting a hang of the feature-length thing. But there's a huge underlying poignancy in the way that Jerri, despite everything, remains so achingly vulnerable. A lot of shows wanted to be Stangers With Candy. Watch the fucking show. Despite what google and letterboxd say, this is about 86 minutes from start until end of credits. I haven’t seen this movie, but the TV show is an absolute all-timer for me and I guess that’s all I got. Credit: Stan "For 32 years I was a teenage runaway," she explains.

I watched the show as a kid and what I remember from it can't really compete with this. But no one mastered the absolutely SAVAGE wit that Stephen Colbert, Paul Dinello, and Amy Sedaris did with ease. Amy Sedaris, sister of David Sedaris, plays a 40 year old "boozer, user, and loser" who goes back to High School. Sedaris plays 46-year-old high-school freshman Jerri Blank, who has returned to the classroom to complete her interrupted education. It's not as boundary pushing as the series gets so it's a good way to ease you in with weirdness and cameos. It’s Always Sunny is an obvious example. Trouble is that she takes away all the wrong messages. It kinda feels like they stole the movie from themselves by using the best jokes from the TV show, and there are some clear continuity errors if you consider it a prequel... but who cares? Made me laugh really hard. The Comedy Central show was never much of a laugh riot but it had plenty of inspired weirdness and committed performances from many gifted comic actors. There is nothing as satisfying as an ironic, mean Amy Sedaris blinking out of sync to the Dawson’s Creek theme music. The movie is much in the same vein as the show, only with the addition of several big name bit players including Allison Janney, Matthew Broderick, Ian Holm, and the late (and great, and greatly missed, Philip Seymour Hoffman). I've never seen an episode of the series it's based on, but the Strangers with Candy movie is quite amusing. Quite possibly the funniest tv show I've ever had the pleasure of loving! Menu.

Now out of prison, on parole, thoroughly familiar with every kind of drug known to man and no longer working in the sex industry, she's ready to absorb some very different life lessons – the kind that kids are supposed to take from earnest, message-laden high-school soaps. I wish Sedaris & Dinello wrote more stuff like this. The show is amazing. Great show. Strangers With Candy. For the people that it is for, this is quite the gut buster. This is a show that makes fun of after school specials and in this case, our protagonist Gerry Blank, always learns all the wrong lessons "in all the right ways." Directed by Paul Dinello. 115 global ratings. I love it, and have been watching this since it orginally aired some 20 years ago. Decades after dropping out of school and running away, Jerri Blank is out of jail, back home and trying to pick up exactly where she left off -- as a 46-year-old high school freshman. I think the direction wasn't as good as the 2nd season--it just didn't feel like the original "Afterschool Specials" it was mimicking.

The series satirises the high-school genre perfectly, right down to the poignant piano plinking when the mean girls make fun of Jerri in the toilets. Paul Dinello directs comedy here very well but this movie just needs a cinematographer to make the lighting better and it leans a little too much on reliving classic jokes from the amazing series. And Hoffman gets an A+ pratfall in at the end. Jerri learns the value of sanity when Stew, her mom's meat man, goes nuts.
