How can you use “mamet” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

Theater -- The Old Neighborhood , by David Mamet;
since Tootsie " (Joe Morgenstern, the Wall Street Journal ). Critics also like David Mamet's screenplay for its jabs at the news media, out-of-touch liberals, and "everything that's awful in American life nowadays" (Richard Schickel, Time ). Dissenting, The New Yorker 's Daphne Merkin bemoans the film's "sophomoric" humor and its "cozy, video-ready cynicism."
Who'd have thought that Mamet was secretly in love with the well-carpentered, '40s and '50s drawing-room plays of the terribly English Terence Rattigan, whom the Angry Young Men of the late '50s loutishly blew off the boards--thus paving the way for Mamet's expletive-laced theater games?
St. Johns law professor and Sunday poet Lawrence Joseph's anthology of conversations with New York attorneys is deemed humorous but "pointless" (Rob Long, the Weekly Standard ). Reviewers say Joseph is "good at catching the way people talk" (Christopher Lehman-Haupt, the New York Times ) and his characters "are first cousins to David Mamet's or Eric Bogosian's ranters" (Philip Lopate, Esquire ). But beneath the froth the book offers little insight into the way lawyers work, Long says; it's really about "what colorful New Yorkers talk about when they're trying to be colorful."
Beat by beat, Mamet turns out an immaculately staged, crisply paced, and elegantly acted movie.
