If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?
These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.

Posted: 5/7/12 at 12:04pmIt's way more sophisticated than anything Chris Farley ever did. I loved it (and was afraid it would be just that, to be honest). It's my favorite new play of the season.

Yeah. Like Falstaff. Or Santa Claus. Or Winnie-the-Friggin'-Pooh.
Sheesh.

Posted: 5/7/12 at 12:13pmI was actually shocked at how little slapstick there actually is. I found there to be far more verbal wordplay than full on slapstick.

Winnie-the-Pooh was brown.
I knew you were going to say that! But I couldn't think of a third fat white character and Winnie-the-Pooh just popped into my head.

Posted: 5/7/12 at 12:31pmGiven that "One Man, Two Guvnors" is not three hours long (I saw it yesterday), the answer to the question that is the post title is: NO.
