Reception
[edit]Nick Offerman: American Ham received mostly positive reviews from critics.[citation needed] Geoffrey Berkshire of Variety, said in his review that "Nick Offerman's affable stage presence carries this fairly routine standup concert film".[4] John DeFore, in his review for The Hollywood Reporter, wrote, "The stand-up film won't please all fans of Offerman's acting work."[5] Kyle Burton of Indiewire graded the film a B−, saying, ""American Ham" is a solid comedy special — with stylish prerecorded title sequences for each new Tip — but it lacks some of the inventiveness or surprise that might otherwise warrant a slot at a major film festival. But that doesn't negate the way Offerman’s honest Americanist attitude regularly leads to laughs and insight."[6]
