Starring Géza Röhrig and Matthew Broderick.
"deft execution and astute lead performances...charming"
"[T]here's something in the relationship between these two partnerless men - their yearning for connection - that feels, beneath the jokes, very real and very recognizable."
"earnest to the point of piety. It's also bawdy, and...very funny."
