March 10, 2008Drama club people like this type of stuff. Those darn drama club people. The real play was good, but did I really need to see a movie of a play of a play?

October 20, 2008I can't imagine how this play is accomplished on live stage (and it is).

January 24, 2011One of the funniest scripts ever. I've taken the rating down one star because the play is superior -- let's face it, the play's about English people... not Americans playing English people.

Extremely energetic theater farce benefits from a colorful (and inexhaustable) ensemble.

Works much better as stage vehicle, but loaded with stars and laughs.
