Banal, Cliched, Boring, Sit-com calibre, Slow

See it if you want to see Lisa Emery give one of her usual fine performances. Also, if you want to see Halley Feiffer take a tumble with this play.

Don't see it if your taste rises above the sit-com level.

Clever, Delightful, Hilarious, Great writing, Great acting

See it if You are looking for a show with a dark but entertaining humor that appeases both young and older audiences.

Don't see it if You're coy about onstage sexual behavior--otherwise, this show is excellent and really exercises Behrs's acting chops past her TV fame.
