Cliched, Great acting, Intelligent, Slow, Thought-provoking

See it if you are willing to wait and see how things develop and how characters interrelate. Not much action but interesting dynamics

Don't see it if you need intense entertainment and are put off but characters rather cliched but still interesting on a deeper level

Great acting, Intelligent, Disappointing, Thought-provoking, Great writing

See it if Strangely lyrical but formless exploration into the lives of Levittown conformists set in an adult ed class;ambitious but falls short

Don't see it if You don't appreciate what Levittown meant in 1967 & can't work through a great ensemble cast dealing with material that doesn't always work

Entertaining, Funny, Great acting, Relevant, Refreshing

See it if you are interested in suburban lives and who is taking night school writing classes to pass the time; Josh Radnor is the teacher.

Don't see it if you do not care about suburbia and their trivial problems;you have never ridden on the LIRR;stereotypes bother you Read more

Entertaining, Disappointing, Great acting, Surprisingly enjoyable

See it if You don't mind being able to figure the plot points early, want some decent acting, and to laugh- I was pleasantly surprised to laugh often

Don't see it if You want depth, for a story to slowly reveal, or a profound experience

Funny, Great acting, Hilarious, Slow, Great writing

See it if You are a fan of Richard Greenberg,or you grew up in Levittown or on Long Island, some great acting by Randy Graff,funny one liners

Don't see it if You don't like any of the above or you like more of a stage setting, it's a bit slow in the beginning and you like bigger faster productions
