Editorial Review:
Description
In the war of the words, they're the infantry.
Every spring in Austin, Texas, people travel from far and wide to compete in a sophisticated clash of wits known as the O. Henry Pun Off. This event is host to some of the worlds most accomplished manipulators of the English language. This documentary follows four contenders through arduous competition as they battle head to head in their quest to claim the world championship. There are no cash prizes at stake- the punsters compete solely to be known as the best of the worst.
With a fascinating cast of characters whose minds are as twisted as their use of language, Pun-Smoke will elicit as many groans as it will laughs.
This DVD also includes the bonus short, "Edits to the Lederer," where best-selling author Richard Lederer offers up an intellectual framework through which to view this wordplay.
