Entertaining, Intense

See it if you like some funny moments with interesting themes. Generally easy to watch. Very good acting.

Don't see it if you don't like a play that can get a bit 'heavy' at times.

Clever, Funny, Great acting, Indulgent

See it if you want to see a dark comedy that is more than the title suggests and you like great acting.

Don't see it if any of the following make you queasy: hospital rooms, disease, emotional frailty, the need to connect with others.

Movingly shows thin line between black humor and depression in dealing with the big c(ancer)

See it if /for hilarious opening, later side-splitting sex scene, good ensemble/kick-a** performance by Beth Behrs/2 Broke Girls

Don't see it if /since play eventually slips into old tropes (my wife/mother/son doesn't love me); ultimately however shows healing power of humor

Clever, Cliched, Fluffy, Quirky, Resonant

See it if you want to see the best-staged sex scene in 2016 (spoiler: it's not all that sexy, but it is hilarious and honest.)

Don't see it if you're not into stuff that's really riding the cute/quirky angle hard before it pivots into the resonant.
