Here’s
what PUBLISHER’S WEEKLY has to say about the audiobook
of Screening
Party:
Hensley held a series of movie screening parties for
friends and recorded
the group's caustic chatter while watching the films.
He relates what's happening on-screen while his pals
(voiced by Kathy Griffin, Tony Tripoli, Erin Quill,
Mark Salzberg and Robert Abele) create a Mystery Science
Theatre 3000-like atmosphere with astute put-downs,
wry observations and behind-the-scenes anecdotes to
delight film buffs. This crowd can even make a fun
evening out of sitting through Armageddon, A Night
in Heaven and 9 1/2 Weeks (which everyone agrees refers
to "how long Kim Basinger is going to have to
be on penicillin" after she breaks up with Mickey
Rourke). When Julia Roberts enters Pretty Woman in
a blonde pageboy wig and sailor hat, someone notes, "She
looks like the Captain and Tennille rolled into one
unfortunate person.". During Flashdance, Griffin
wisecracks, "The metaphors in this movie are about
as subtle as Bruce Jenner's face work." Hensley
saves the best commentaries for the last CD, when the
group takes on Al Pacino's Cruising and Mariah Carey's
Glitter. The entire cast is splendid. Hensley deftly
handles the majority of the narration, but vies with
Eve Arden reincarnate Griffin and hilarious mimic Tripoli
as top laugh-getter.
