Kathy Griffin’s latter input has a tendency to drag, and nowhere is this more apparent than in this underwhelming albeit occasionally amusing special. Griffin herself is engaging as always, with a sharp, quick wit that she deploys liberally, but this time her topics seem retrained by her ever-expanding mainstream celebrity. Playing it safe here, she prefers soft gossip and television recaps over her more tart content from years before, and while it’s fine, there’s just something missing.
Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)
