Yea, part of me thinks it is hilarious, part of me is saying WTF when I think about how those kids actually had to sit and watch the movie to learn the characters.
When I think of the hours spent on learning, practicing, planning, acting, directing, wardrobe, makeup, performances - and so many people thinking it's a good idea. The whole thing boggles my mind completely.
Wow, age ratings of films have gone down a lot recently "
I guess the kids don't take it the same way as adults though. They aren't likely to be getting half of what's going on, but it's still not good. They should have at least got parental permission first.
It's a joke - it wasn't a real play. Although it was in pretty questionable taste, those were professional child actors and the director was a Hollywood MTV director. It wasn't real.
