I saw it yesterday and actually had a good time with this cast. Quick moving comedy about a snooker championship. This played in Sheffield,England, where it takes place but I don't think it was ever on the West End or anywhere else in London.

Terry Teachout of WSJ is negative. "Who cares?," he says. (My personal thought exactly.)

The Daily Beast is negative, except for the snooker match.

I really enjoyed this and agree with Brantley for once. I saw The Nap, My Fair Lady, Head Over Heels, & Oklahoma in the same trip and The Nap was the one I keep coming back to. Such fun so wonderfully done.
