BEN BRENTLEY of the NEW YORK TIMES says �A beguilingly sneaky crash course in the loss of innocence.� CLIVE BARNES of NEW YORK POST says �This dismal apology for a play is weakly directed and, by and large, very poorly acted.� HOWARD KISSEL of NEW YORK DAILY NEWS says it �Might be okay if it were funny. It seldom is.� ELYSA GARDNER of USA TODAY says �Fresh, funny and newly poignant.� FRANK SCHECK of THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER says "Proves to have lost whatever comic spark it possessed" ROMA TORRE of NY1 says "A near perfect production."
