I find this review offensive! I don’t agree with this review. I agree with this review.
2 stars (Good Try) The satire is excellent, and well enhanced by believable performances from the actors. BUT... this would do better as a 15-minute skit, rather than dragging on and going exactly nowhere. ~oldgirl
