PRETENTIOUS. Not at all funny. Reads like an older person trying to write today’s generation. So naturally, very out of touch with young people of today. Attempted jabs at the feminist movement don’t land. And god, this dialogue is stilted. I’m not convinced that this playwright has ever heard two people have a conversation.

I really wanted this to be good. To be fair, it's the type of dialogue-heavy script that really needs to be seen to be properly evaluated. Still, this wasn't for me. I didn't find it particularly funny or insightful and in the end I think I'd classify it as dreary. And not in a good way.
