More a filmed play than a movie, as you watch this you feel as if you're really up at 2 am on a cool summer night with crickets out the window. Watching it reminded me how over-produced movies are with incidental music and camera changes every 5 seconds.
There are scenes in this movie that caused me to laugh harder than I can ever remember laughing before. Great plot, besides.
A must-see.
