i star a eugene morris jerome in my high school adaptation of the play and this film definitely doesn not live up to the script or the imagination of neil simon . i know this play backwards and forward and i can honestly tell you that the acting be off and the production be cheesy . the change in the play script be poorly do . if you want to really enjoy this play you should see the actual play and not a hollywood movie adaptation . the eugene character lack soul and be overly sarcastic in all he say . the other character be off key as well . a general disappointment and messy and disloyal to the play and amateurishly execute .
