Zitate
Dennis Jennings: My main fear is I just don't really trust anyone. I don't think anyone presents himself too many in the way they really are, you know? I know it sounds paranoid but I just can't help it.

1988 Oscar for Best Comedy Short

Steven Wright is by far today's most underrated comic genius. He has defined his own genre of stand-up comedy with patented, dead-pan, juxtapositioned one-line observations. This comedy short provides him a vehicle to create sketches that explore this genre, with him starring as Dennis Jennings.

Dennis is a person of obvious low self-esteem, meandering through a rat-race life in New York. Wright glories in pointing out the intricate details of this life over the 30 minute short feature - focusing around his "appointments" with his therapist (Atkinson). You will need to watch it a few times to catch all of his subtle jabs at the everyday farces and absurdities in our lives. It's a 9 or 10.
