Very gentle touching comedy

This stage show-to-film adaptation requires a certain familiarity with the guy group era and the music of the 1950's in order to be fully appreciated. The music is treated with great respect (perhaps more than it deserves) and the physical comedy mostly pokes very gentle fun at the Four Lads and the ilk. The characters are each well defined and these actors have lived the parts myriad times. They know their characters. If you have an ounce of empathy you will find yourself rooting for these so-earnest losers. These are the guys who were in the Audio-Visual Club at my high school and couldn't get a date on a bet. Times have changed but you knew people like this in high school, or maybe even were one of them. If only we could each get that one moment of perfect glory.....
