...seven sins” is inspired, the execution doesn’t fulfill the concept’s potential. The show is lively and entertaining, but only one of its plot lines is fully resolved. The continuation of the “pride” storyline??which appears in three different scenes—is the only to work well. Perhaps developing the other sins a little further would have made the play more memorable...
...oatmeal raisin cookies garnished with his ashes. Another makes a mold of her dead husband’s penis. Unfortunately, these moments of humor in the midst of tragedy are set against a backdrop of an utterly predictable romance. “Love Happens” traces a hackneyed storyline??complete with dramatic slow-clap in the final scene—but ultimately entertains thanks to the strength of its dead-on humor (literally). While the title was clearly meant to attract a lighthearted crowd in search of a happy ending and a few laughs along...

Harvard was not just a promising team...
...torturing, and killing children, filming the whole thing. It makes for some nicely creepy “things are not as they seem” moments, but ultimately the only purpose of this lengthy sidetrack—which has nothing whatsoever to do with the other main characters or storyline??is to get the audience to cheer when Joey’s wife shoots them. This subplot is just the most egregious example of the hypocritical morality that pervades the movie. “Running Scared” is not content to be just a heavy dose...
