Quote by Stephen Hunter
The prospects for a coherent, hilarious and consistent American comedy seem to lessen every year, as the poor waterlogged, gassy corpse called 'Evan Almighty' proved when it floated ashore recently. So there's a temptation to think too highly of Robin Williams's uneven but occasionally funny 'License to Wed.'
Summary
This quote suggests that the quality of American comedy is declining, as exemplified by the disappointing movie 'Evan Almighty.' Due to this decline, there is a tendency to overestimate the worth of films like 'License to Wed,' despite its inconsistency. The quote implies that finding a comedy that is both coherent and consistently amusing has become increasingly rare, leading some to lower their standards and settle for movies that are only occasionally funny.
