Title: Stage Production or A Movie Production?
Review: In my opinion, this remake of a classic stage production, which is also a classic movie, couldn't decide which it wanted to be. It tried to be a stage production filmed in front of a "live" audience, but there were scenes that could not possibly have been done for a "live" audience. Though the audience was shown, on occasion, as if they were there, they never really seemed to "get" any of the jokes. It should have been one or the other. Trying to be both lost it for me. Adding smoking and tobacco chewing didn't help either.
Is the review positive or negative?
