WHY WE SUCK (Denis Leary) - May 14/09

Though it has its moments, Why We Suck ultimately comes off as an entirely needless vanity project in which Denis Leary essentially freewheels his way through a variety of topics. There's never a point at which one doesn't get the impression that he's just making this all up as he goes along, as there's a stream-of-consciousness sort of vibe that persists from start to finish and is exacerbated by the crazy long (and punctuation-less) sentences. And it's kind of irritating to note that he's espousing all these opinions of how to behave - ie it's important to spank your children - that you just know he doesn't follow himself. ** out of ****
