"I NEED MORE FROM THIS RELATIONSHIP THAN I'M WILLING TO PUT INTO IT:" Strangers With Candy is certainly more appealing than Stephen Colbert's last big-screen outing, Bewitched, but it's far from perfect. Sure, Colbert and his cohorts Amy Sedaris and Paul Dinnello, score big from time to time, but the jokes are often pasted together. I will say that Colbert actually proves here that he can play a part of than "Stephen Colbert, pompous jackass," and the cameos are priceless (Allison Janney and Phillip Seymour Hoffman as school board members, Sarah Jessica Parker as the school "grief counsellor,"and Matthew Broderick as a science fair scholar). The two best cameos though? Chris Pratt playing the doofy jock who Jerri has a thing for, and a blink and you'll miss it bit from Chandra Wilson as one of the inmates who abuses Jerri in the opening prison sequence.
