Abel Raises Cain Ratings & Reviews
TV Guide
Maitland McDonagh
There's no denying that Alan Abel is a character, and any glimpse behind the schemes is better than none.
Reel Film Reviews
David Nusair
...a fun, easy-going documentary...
Sly Fox
Kam Williams
A host of hoaxes far funnier than the best of Candid Camera!
Variety
Robert Koehler
More a love letter from daughter Jenny to her father than a worthy portrait of Abel's caustic, media-savvy and mind-bending social comedy.
Orlando Weekly
Steve Schneider
The movie could also do a better job of explaining the inner forces that drive Abel - and especially his wife, one of his regular co-conspirators. Such gaps, though, don't seriously detract from the movie's roguish pull.
