Featured reviews
John Mulaney & the Sack Lunch Bunch is a children's musical special, which seams weird at first but after watching, I think they cooked up something magical. My first question when I heard about this was, what's the tone? Is it gonna be awkward balancing kids and adult humor, but all that was answered by the first song, which happens to be one of the catchiest things I've ever heard. It feels sweet, but also sarcastic. It would be easy to make a special like this as a sort of anti kids special. But I think with John Mulaney's seemingly boundless talent, they handled it perfectly. It's very very funny
I'm a big fan of John Mulaney but this was pretty boring. There were a couple chuckles throughout and some of the kids were great but the whole special was bland . I give it an 7 because the ending musical number is by far the best part and makes the whole process worth it
It was very funny.
The kids seemed passionate and excited to be there.
While one or two songs didn't really hit the mark, I thoroughly enjoyed my time with this.
Please give John Mullaney more money to make things please

I turned it on and within minutes was watching it with a feeling of disbelief. One of those shows that surprises and delights because you keep thinking, "wtf?".
There is a lot of good, smart, witty content in this mixed with over the top pure wackiness.

I'm just entirely too emotional these past few months, and while I'm not really a fan of kids in general, this was pretty dang cute. I wanted to shake the hand of all of those child actors. And I love John Mulaney's work, so it was a satisfying hour of "lol wat?!" :)
