"We all need some laughs these days, and Paula Poundstone provides a hootfest in this hilarious quest for the missing key to human happiness, which captures the off-the-wall skepticism we’ve come to love from her performances on Wait, Wait…Don’t Tell Me. She is willing to try anything: getting fit with taekwondo, promiscuous hugging, swing dancing, volunteering with the elderly and a usually forbidden all-day home-movie binge with her three kids and 12 cats. One high point: the charge she feels at the sight of canned goods neatly organized on tiered risers “like a can glee club.”"
