You're Welcome America. A Final Night With George W. Bush


What the press had to say.....

"Sometimes it�s really funny, and sometimes it sort of sags. I laughed, I yawned."
Ben Brantley
New York Times

"Unlike Dubya, Ferrell is lightning fast on his feet and turns each ad lib into a burst of hilarity, a mission accomplished, if you will."
Joe Dziemianowicz
New York Daily News

"As satire, �You�re Welcome, America� is toothless. What comes across as pointed and funny in 90 seconds on �Saturday Night Live� flops as a Bush-era postmortem."
Jeremy Gerard
Bloomberg

"Witless, pointless spectacle"
Elysa Gardner
USA Today

"Ferrell is terrific - sly and subtle, even brave. And "You're Welcome America. A Final Night With George W Bush" has arrived right on time for both silly fun and smart summing-up of an epoch the country just voted overwhelmingly to change." Linda Winner
NewsDay

"This not-very-deep comedy is similar to what you can get on TV ... yet it's a fun and stress-relieving evening. "
David Sheward
Back Stage

"it's often said humor is the best tonic for what ails you, and no matter how awful some may regard the Bush years, Will Ferrell guarantees you'll laugh through the tears."
Roma Torre
NY1

"It's all pretty amusing, in a once-over-lightly way."
Robert Feldberg
The Record

"Will Ferrell makes a pretty hilarious case for all of us having unfinished funny business with the drawlin', squintin', struttin' 43."
Peter Marks
Washington Post

"merciless and often blisteringly funny raunch roast of the former chief executive"
Michael Kuchwara
Associated Press

"a fast-paced, well-sustained near-90 minutes that's consistently funny and invigoratingly rude."
David Rooney
Variety
