Movie review: David Cross - Making America Great Again!

From the Paramount Theatre in Texas comes just over an hour of ponderings on various topics by David Cross. Pontificating on the American swagger, religion, and politics including Donald Trump, David definitely has an unusual view of things.

David Cross has played some interesting characters in films so I'm not sure why I thought his comedy would be any different. He takes a different, almost quirky, view of things putting together something resembling logic that, together with comedy, is as funny as it is strange. Casually strolling around the stage, David does a nice job of mixing different types of humor and a nice variety of topics.

Camera and spotlight work was good. Stage setting was simple but worked. Sound was good, even when David was doing unusual things with the microphone.

While I'm familiar with David the actor, I wasn't previously familiar with his comedy and found it quite enjoyable. Those who are offended, not just easily, may want to think twice about this one. Meanwhile the rest of us will be busy chuckling.

With plenty of foul language but nothing else, this may be fine for older teens.
