I PROMISE it will make you laugh.  It made me laugh, and I am not a laugher.  I am an observer who, when something is funny, often makes a mental note of that effect.  But laugh out loud?  Not so much.  Wasn’t I surprised to be one of the people who nearly barked.

STILL at The Sheen Center for Thought and Culture’s Loreto Theater

Mark (Mark Moses) is a successful and, more importantly, DIVORCED lawyer living in Colorado. The kids are grown, and he is looking for a new chapter that may be sitting right in front of him. Helen (Melissa Gilbert) is a successful author with no children and no romantic relationship anywhere. The flame is rekindled, and the game is afoot. We see this coming from the opening moments. There is nothing new or intriguing here. There is quite a bit of cutesy that feels appliquéd. Neither of these characters is cutesy.
