It was very funny.
The kids seemed passionate and excited to be there.
While one or two songs didn't really hit the mark, I thoroughly enjoyed my time with this.
Please give John Mullaney more money to make things please

This show did something very unique, and it executed it very well. There was a perfect blend of cute, satire, and pure comedy. It's pacing was well done, the acting was great, and it feels like the kids show that actually would be for the kids of today. The slightly cynical side of the show gives an interesting look into the youth of today, not in a condescending way, but in a way that inspires the possibility and beauty of the modern youth!
I'm just entirely too emotional these past few months, and while I'm not really a fan of kids in general, this was pretty dang cute. I wanted to shake the hand of all of those child actors. And I love John Mulaney's work, so it was a satisfying hour of "lol wat?!" :)
I'm a big fan of John Mulaney but this was pretty boring. There were a couple chuckles throughout and some of the kids were great but the whole special was bland . I give it an 7 because the ending musical number is by far the best part and makes the whole process worth it
John Mulaney & the Sack Lunch Bunch is a children's musical special, which seams weird at first but after watching, I think they cooked up something magical. My first question when I heard about this was, what's the tone? Is it gonna be awkward balancing kids and adult humor, but all that was answered by the first song, which happens to be one of the catchiest things I've ever heard. It feels sweet, but also sarcastic. It would be easy to make a special like this as a sort of anti kids special. But I think with John Mulaney's seemingly boundless talent, they handled it perfectly. It's very very funny
