imagine, if you will, a community theater that chooses a farce for their season. the farce has very low rights fees, a unit set, and everyone in the cast can wear their own clothes. there are some good actors and a solid director, so it doesn't entirely suck, but it's doomed by its very nature. at least it's doomed for me...
( mild spoilers that explain why )
( what i did like... )
skip it. two stars, one each for Alan Tudyk and Peter Dinklage.
edited to add: there was more love for this on the Fool Serious list. perception is a funny thing: other people thought there was a lot of laughter around them, and i thought the audience wasn't enjoying it enough. personal taste made this a non-starter...i didn't like Little Miss Sunshine either.
