failure-in-law

one of the great things about citypaper are its acerbic, often hateful reviews. they're also sometimes hateful just for hateful's sake, but this time (as with the stable review last week) they're right on the money. ew. j-lo. ew.

enjoy such phrases as:

"Viola goes about driving Charlie crazy with the assistance of her hen-pecked Negro womanservant, Ruby (Wanda Sykes), who's always sayin' sassy things 'bout her lady, 'cuz you know how black folks is. Then J-Lo tries to drive Jane crazy. Apply we're-more-alike-than-we-think happy ending to end of Act 3 and fade."

"But back to Lopez. How bad is she? She cannot sleep convincingly."
