Yup - here - I agree it is very obviously a play filmed, but still loved it.

Why does your dh think you won't like it?

I saw it on Saturday, I enjoyed it, it was a nice easy going film.

I really enjoyed it, it's very funny. It is quite 'stagey' dialogue-wise - the transfer from stage to screen is a bit clunky in parts. But well worth a couple of hours of your time, imo.

Having not seen the stage play I saw the film recently and thought it was excellent. Yes, it's patently a play transferred to screen, but none the worse for that IMO. Excellent acting all round. Go and see it!

Enjoyable. But I think, in real life, you might think they were a bunch of wankers.
