...says. "Try to think of another time when you'll live with 100 other guys, most of whom don't want to be bothered with God right now." But influence can flow both ways. Early in his freshman year, Straub found himself waking up after a couple of drunken nights, suffering a spiritual hangover of guilt. Now he leads a weekly Bible study in his secular frat. It's a daunting challenge, but he draws strength from Paul's letter to the Ephesians, in which the Apostle urges believers to "put on the full armor of God, so that...
...humor is broad but entertaining. Puns, misunderstandings, double entendres, deliberate anachronisms, and drunken stumblings provide most of the laughs. Many of the jokes are clearly new additions to this translation, which was done by the Classical Club specifically for this production. Most of the jokes are funny, such as the slightly bizarre simile, “like a midget at a urinal, you’re going to have to stay on your toes.” Some are less successful, such as Tranio’s incessant double entendres and a reference to the aid that Philematium?...

His breathless and quasi-coherent accounts of college life make me nostalgic for a time when so much of college...
...toggle between two settings: hilariously broad comedy and hypnotically surreal action sequences. The former is what garnered the film’s fame in the East, and such acclaim is deserved. The characters are easily recognizable archetypes—from the tough-as-nails Landlady (Qiu Yuen) and her drunken, bumbling husband (Wah Yuen) to the sadistic, moustache-twirling mastermind (Kwok Kuen Chan)—and every actor milks them for all they’re worth...
