review 1: The WHOLE title tells you not to expect every entry to be funny. Plus, he says it again in his intro and mentions he was feeling weird when he made the selections. I love Judd Apatow, but I'm not a fan of short stories in general. It's like the writer has license to start building an excellent story and then end it abruptly with something choppy and stupid. Just me, I guess. Enjoyed the introductions to some interesting writers, but I only really liked about a third of his choices.
review 2: A pretty good collection of some funny and some not so funny written pieces. I was familiar with more pieces than I thought when I ordered it from McSweeney's (probably from my early college days when I was convinced I was a fiction writer...) some of the pieces stand out,
... moresome don't, and some don't make sense in the context of the book,but its a great collection to have a around and thumb through. PLUS all the proceeds go to 826 National with is an AWESOME organization that has branches in most major cities in the U.S. less
