Fair enough, Burt. Fair enough. Reviewing the new ASF show this Saturday -- I'll try and give a little more description in that one.

We're not hating on you. I respect you for having the b-lls, it just missed that one element.

Thanks! It always feels like uncharted waters to write a "negative" review in Austin -- glad to know at least one person isn't hatin' on me!

Great review! This is what is needed around here.

Rachel Weisz was in the film too. I saw the film, so I really have no desire to see the play. Just. Ugh.

I think what you're talking about is called a synopsis. But, for you, I'll try: The play is about destructive relationships between college students. There's two couples and you think they're in love but they do mean things to each other. Then there's a twist ending that I won't reveal because I think it's lame when reviewers give away plot points that the playwright deliberately keeps you waiting for. If you want to know more, I'd go see it...or go read it...or go see the movie. Hell, Paul Rudd's in it, and he was in Clueless...so...

Is this a pseudo-review? I didn't find out at all what this play was about.
