I've always thought Chris Elliott is a funny guy. and his dad Bob Elliott, from the Bob and Ray comedy duo, as well.
Haven't seen much of him lately. I thought his TV show "Get a Life" about a 30 year old paperboy was occasionally hilarious and even liked his movie "Cabin Boy" which was like watching the TV show except it was an hour and a half.
Glad to hear those are getting a bit of a cult following according to the Onion A.V. Club article.
I'd never heard of his book "Daddy's Boy" (a parody of Mommy Dearest). It sounds funny. I think I'll see if I can get a copy from Amazon
The readers reviews of Daddy's Boy: A Son's Shocking Account of Life with a Famous Father give it a perfect 5 stars.
