Entertaining, Great writing, Great staging, Great acting

See it if A designer who grew up in a nunnery/orphanage/brothel is revealed that his family is near and dear. "Twelve nuns giving birth in one year."

Don't see it if A designer raised in a brothel of the blessed, which fronted as convent, wearing his own gowns, clothing prostitutes, should be a bawdy romp Read more

Disappointing, Excruciating, Indulgent, Overrated, Quirky

See it if Hijinks at a convent arouse your interest.

Don't see it if Despite a game cast the various twists and turns keep coming and minimalize what should be a joyous comedy. Read more
