I think this is more precisely a qualified recommend...

...this production is mostly an examination of the ravages of substance abuse and the toll it takes on persons of different socioeconomic standings with some aeronautical disaster thrown in to set the stage and hold things together later on. I found portions of it fairly unpleasant to watch, esp the portrayal of the seamy aspects of addictions and the depths a person can fall to while denying anything is wrong. This is definitely not a light piece of entertainment and I suspect many viewer are going to leave the theater feeling a little beat up. For unknown reasons, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas came to mind at more than a few points in during the "film" but without attempts at fun.

Overall this was a fairly decent production but rather heavy and clearly not for everyone: a few couples walked out of a packed auditorium at less than 20' into it.
