Query: HORRIBLE

I LOVED the stage version with the original cast - I saw the play in 1996. AMAZING. Most of the actors were not Broadway performers, which added a sense of realism and urgency to the roles. However, this filmed version is so bland and boring it's barely watchable. My biggest complaint is the direction - the staged version had energy and sass - the film drags along until you can't wait for it to be over. I wish there was a filmed version of the original cast circa 1996. Avoid this movie.
