Storyline
Featured review
Is any husband THIS ineffectual?!
When the story begins, a couple are rehearsing a play...one that is REALLY hard to believe. In the play, the cheating wife convinces her mousy and ineffectual husband to not only condone this affair but help pay for the lovers to run off together!! The director things the whole thing is unbelievable, so the couple from the play decide to act it out with her real life husband...the mousy and ineffectual Ed Martin (Andy Clyde). He DOES respond much like the man in the play and you wonder just how far the two can go until Ed loses his cool and fights back...but he doesn't and the director decides to do the play as written.
During the play, the onstage couple get lost in their roles and he begins actually kissing her passionately! She soon responds in kind...all the while Ed is watching in the audience. Does he continue to do nothing or will the worm finally turn?
This is just a fair comedy short for one big reason...it really isn't all that funny and could have used more laughs. It's watchable but could have been so much better...especially since Clyde could be quite funny. It's watchable but it just feels like they missed the mark.
By the way, if you see the film, although Clyde looks like he's about 60, he is actually in his late 30s and he often took on roles of characters far older than he actually was.
