You're right - I should have selected Hamlet! ;-) But, to be sure, people in the theater were laughing at the mostly lame and overdone scenes. I guess I've become more curmudgeonly in my old age!
In fact, for the first time ever, I fell asleep for a little bit in the middle, right in the theater - it was so half-baked. However, it was NOT as lame as the zillions of previews they showed before it even started. Jeezuz! O tempora, o mores!
OTOH, Ms CfL liked it just a bit better than I did - of course, she's 4.25 years younger than I am. Just give her time!
