A fluke phenomenon like this couldn't happen now, but we should be grateful it ever happened at all.

Drunk Stoned Brilliant did convince me that the Lampoon has a colorful, even important, journalistic history, and that some extraordinary talents were involved, however often they were drugged out.

The movie is an orgy of boomer self-congratulation -- yet it lacks even that movie's ironic notation of how a bastion of white-male privilege managed to pass itself off as radical.

The film understandably assumes that everyone who had anything to do with National Lampoon was a comic genius, but that's simply not the case.
October 08, 2015
Tirola's documentary is brisk and entertaining, if not especially thoughtful. But then neither was the magazine, whose militant bad taste spawned "Saturday Night Live" and so much more.

This is a celebration, not an examination, and those looking for a critique of the ribald publication, radio show, off-Broadway play, and film franchise [should go] elsewhere.

What makes Drunk Stoned Brilliant Dead feel particularly vibrant is how the Lampoon's specific art direction is put to use.
April 25, 2016
Director Douglas Tirola makes the anarchic but nonetheless productive rise of what would become a multimedia franchise great fun.
October 08, 2015
We can only imagine with glee what these comic geniuses could have done with some of today's political and cultural figures.
April 22, 2016
With this sensitive yet playful voice, Tirola shows how decades of richly comedic material found its cultural maturity.

If you think there is nothing funnier than putting a sacred cow in a blender and hitting the purée button, this is the movie for you.

A frenetic, rough-edged, unapologetic tribute to the Lampoon, featuring some amazing archival footage, nifty bits of animation and dozens of straightforward talking-head interviews that crackle and pop.
