Highly entertaining, in a casual, home-movie way.

Reviews for Abel Raises Cain
There's no denying that Alan Abel is a character, and any glimpse behind the schemes is better than none.
The movie could also do a better job of explaining the inner forces that drive Abel – and especially his wife, one of his regular co-conspirators. Such gaps, though, don't seriously detract from the movie's roguish pull.
More a love letter from daughter Jenny to her father than a worthy portrait of Abel's caustic, media-savvy and mind-bending social comedy.
If you don't giggle at some of Alan's gags and the reaction our increasingly polarized culture has to them, you're a prime candidate to fall for him next time.
An affectionate portrait of a gadfly dedicated to lampooning American society's foibles, the laziness of the media and the tendency in all of us to swallow what we really want to believe but shouldn't.
