5/10
Better as a stage performance

Warning: Spoilers
Great blend of characters and relationships and the film manages to steam on through the ninety minutes. The viewer needs to be savvy to this kind of humour to pick up the nuances of the play, which I am sure most will, though some may not and will end up switching off before the somewhat unpredictably predictable end. I feel the drama would work better on stage and can;t honestly see the point in bringing the stageplay to the silver screen. Yes it works realtively well, well acted and some minutely funny parts but at times it does become repetitive and begins to tire. There is only so much one can take in 90 minutes of husband wife partner partner relationship issues and the ensuing trevails. Worth a watch but it is what it is a stageplay on screen. 5 / 10
