This classic comedy is a quick read, but it is not much fun. I liked it all right, and I smiled a few times, but it did not make me laugh out loud.

Read full review on my blog, Beyond Strange New Words.

RECOMMENDATION: Menaechmi is a classical comedy. As such it offers some thought-provoking topics concerning people’s behaviour alongside the central theme of mistaken identities.

i know everyone's a critic these days and this is a centuries-old classic that influenced people like shakespeare and moliere but it's also dull as shit. the misogyny jumped out

Actual Rating 4.5

This was absolutely ridiculous and absurd and I found it pretty hilarious. Manaechmi is such a bizarre and quick play and it had me laughing out loud several times.
