While rehousing for a community theatre show old friends have their various relationships turned upside-down with the news that one of them is dying. What supposedly started out as a British farce has been translated into french, and performed as if the entire this WAS a community theatre show that was then filmed and edited on Windows Movie Maker. French farce is the just the worst sometimes. And it seems like once the jokes have been translated into french then back into english via subtitles, they just don't work. The dialogue is terrible. The acting is terrible, unless they are intentionally being terrible. Perhaps the whole film is just a cruel trick on the audience. That's the only reason I can think for someone to make this story and to tell it this way. This film has no merit.
