Jessica Baxter Hammer to Nail The Art of the Prank is a fun way to spend 90 minutes, even if Marini's present-day narrative isn't always easy to follow.

Simon T Donald Sutherland lookalike Joey Skaggs has devoted his life to the prank. This overlong hagiography suggests that Skaggs - a pleasant enough old man - has translated existential disappointment into the pursuit of the trivial. His stunts seem very obvious and unfocused, even if the targets are worthwhile. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/30/23 Full Review adam b My God, this is one fantastic and hilarious film that almost seems unbelievable in itself. An EXTREMELY underrated documentary that is a must see for documentary cinephiles Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member OG prankster Joey is a hit or miss subject for a documentary but Art of the Prank takes the inside track and makes you truly love its subject, Joey, not pranks. This is what gives this study in mindfuckery have more heart than say, Yes Men or Improv Everywhere. The time it takes with the subject and the back and forth linearity merge into something almost poignant but definitely entertaining and thought provoking in our age of fake. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/08/18 Full Review Audience Member Art of the Prank is a great movie that makes you question and think, what else have I fallen for? And its great for some laughs too. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member A great behind the scenes look at America's greatest prankster. And the movie itself is part of a massive prank! Skaggs is a genius. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member I truly enjoyed watching this! It reminded me of the good old days, but most importantly, it made me more conscious of what's really happening with the media. A must see!
