...about bad children’s books that seem to have been copied from internet lists about poorly thought-out children’s literature (there were about 16,900 Google hits for “Strangers Have the Best Candy,” one of the titles the script mentioned). I don’t know why this very creative cast and crew felt the need to use two stale jokes from a Web site, but it certainly detracted from the rest of the show...

Director Paul Fox strikes an unexpected level of originality by taking advantage of his talented cast and presenting a consistently comfortable atmosphere throughout the film.

After Ryan asks Stewart to take Brody to a movie...

Both share a strong vision for the musical, which they decided to direct themselves after seeing another group’s take on Kander and Ebb’s script. Quinn: [Juan and I] actually got to see a production when we were home over Thanksgiving. I thought it was so interesting, and that there were so many things that can be done with it. Unfortunately, the production we saw was a blatant rip-off of the Broadway production. I was just...
