The Big Uncut Flick

See it if you remember the Million Dollar Movie, love 30s crime flicks, and believe TV Dinners can save a marriage. Great fun!

Don't see it if parodies aren't your thing. This is an imaginative, gender-bending take on a fun era. Like it or pass it up!

See it if You are an early era TV addict & old B movies fan and loved all the old commercials of yesteryear. You like zany fun & spoofs.

Don't see it if You prefer regular normal plays with traditional casting or have little humor. You unfortunately missed out on the glorious fun of early TV.

Also This is a zany cleverly conceived comedy with 2 separate storylines of a 1950's TV program with 2 hosts--1 alcoholic corny pompous male & 1 nervous summation caricature of 50's domestic stereotype of the perfect TV female role model. They're expertly portrayed by actors Nash & Geringswald. Their small talk, commercials, artificial happy go lucky exteriors & reaction to uncontrollable technical disasters of early TV are hilarious & really bring back nostalgia.

The hosts introduce a B detective film noir which starts the simultaneous second storyline with an amazing 6 person cast that portrays 17 characters (some gender bender) with individual personalities & personal flair. They are played to the hilt with great color, humor, & distinction.

Kudos to the period dialogue filled with smart ass Street terms and lovable corny jokes delivered with rapid fire pace & percussion perfect timing with great parody acting. Costumes & simple old poster set & TV dinner prop are perfect. FUN, GO SEE... Read more Read less

See it if You love classic movies, fluff, parodies, fun, the 30's & 50's. Great cast.

Don't see it if If you don't like fluff, parodies, 30's, 50's or Classic movies. If you don't like fun.

Also I loved this. I could see this type of show becoming a cult classic with people wondering which "movie" would be talked about on the "tv show". Loved the hosts.....you will either love it or hate it.... Read more Read less

See it if You like film noir, clever spoofs, and broad humor -- with good acting. The show is somewhat slow, but reasonably enjoyable nonetheless.

Don't see it if You want something serious. This is a gentle mocking of 1950s sensibilities, early television programming and ads, and film noir style.

See it if you can appreciate a group of talented hardworking performers lost in a script that misses the mark, and to see a great a great curtain call

Don't see it if you're a Charles Busch fan and can't help but constantly wish that he had been the playwright.

See it if You like 1930s gangster films.

Don't see it if want a fast-paced parody.

Also This show was well-intentioned and had a game and talented cast. It just seemed like it was mostly actors standing in place and delivering dialogue. I don't know if it was because of the small space but it seemed curiously immobile for such a broad comedy. The script employs many clever turns-of-phrase but I wish the evening had been funnier.

Although the director and actors are to be credited with creating strong, distinct characters, I had problems following the story as the actors switched back and forth from character to character.... Read more Read less

See it if ...you like energetic ensemble acting. The acting here is the sole highlight of the production.

Don't see it if ...you don't like parody.

Also Lots of potential here for a fun, engaging evening of escapist theatre, but this production was plagued by several problems, namely the script, which was confusing, the staging, which was simplistic, lacking flair and the tech, which was amateurish.

Again, it was the solid ensemble that was the highlight.... Read more Read less

See it if you're in the mood for a delightful treat. A fun evening filled with a fun story and some wild characters.

Don't see it if You should see it. It's a lot of fun.

See it if ...you like solid ensemble acting. The entire cast was fantastic from start to finish. If only they weren't saddled with a confusing script.

Don't see it if ...you don't like parody. At 75 minutes, the show runs a bit long in my view. After 45 minutes, it all starts to get pretty stale.

See it if You like snappy old slang

Don't see it if You want a show that is easy to follow.

Also I don't want to bash this show as it had moments that made me laugh. It just needs more laughs. Its plot is hard to follow but that doesn't matter too much. It seems like it is almost there in finding the comedy to match the wacky characters.

It was fun but felt slow in many places.

I wish them much luck! Loved the curtain call.... Read more Read less
