...might not, in the end, believe them, but boy they were gripping to watch. Directors like Grant or Nancy Meyers (of The Holiday among other titles) want to keep their leading ladies unhysteric, as if descents into the irrational were somehow fuel for sexism. But the politely furrowed brow is fundamentally anti-dramatic. You want people in films like this to rip and snort their way to improbable, but somehow satisfying, resolutions...

...helped organize a Comedy Night in Winthrop House, but this was the first appearance of Ingber and Greenbaum’s new group: the Harvard Stand-Up Comedy Society (HSUCS). Say the acronym out loud and you’ll get a sense of the kind of wonderfully low-brow humor we can expect in their future outings. Hopefully this promising debut paved the way for continued success...
