Plot: She’s such an unassuming woman – but the legendary author with the calm and calculating voice apparently has a whimsical side. Spoofing her lauded autobiography, Maya Angelou – played by Maya Rudolph – has released a show titled “I Know Why the Caged Bird Laughs” as the octogenarian auteur goes around pranking her fellow luminaries. Smartly, she chooses celebrity subjects that are less abrasive than those of Ashton Kutcher’s Punk’d. But Maya is awfully quick to give herself up. Trust us, the pranked personalities could afford to sweat just a bit more.
Best Line: Morgan Freeman, after sitting in a pie: “I feel no shame sitting in that pastry. Just human nature I suppose.”
