4. What I got: a litany of schmaltzy, trite, self-help platitudes. 100% exposition. Runs the tired gamut of human problems 101

6. Are we sure Nia Vardalos (from MY BIG FAT GREEK WEDDING) can play anyone besides herself? Unrelated: I love me some Phillip James Brannon

8. Playbill Art: as sentimentally on the nose as the play. Balloon = an excessively obvious reference to an excessively obvious moment. pic.twitter.com/S6rNt1bSuT
