Lackluster, Disappointing, Some good acting, Not very original

See it if you are a huge Matthew Perry fan and don't care that his acting is one-note and uninteresting. Very surprising considering he's often funny

Don't see it if you like thought-provoking, clever plays.

Cliched, Banal, Disappointing, Indulgent, Slow

See it if Perry & Morrison one dimensional as leads but Kim & Dunn-Baker (stage pros) enliven the sub plot about real commitment but to no avail

Don't see it if Dark, serious subject matter - alcoholism & high-end prostitution -treated in facile, glib sit-com manner and the jokes are stale too boot!

Cliched, Disappointing

See it if are a big Matthew Perry fan or want to see an interesting set. The show deals with addiction but is overacted by Perry.

Don't see it if you want a smooth production. Despite being almost done with the run, I felt it was still a work in progress. Read more

Cliched, Disappointing

See it if you're a Matthew Perry fan. Good acting by Jennifer Morrrison

Don't see it if want an original take on the serious problem of alcoholism. This is a heartfelt play, but poorly written.
