Mixed reviews of "The Promise"

Postby ewaffle » Sat May 06, 2006 6:01 pm

A Broadway impressario, when asked what "mixed" reviews meant said "Good and lousy", which pretty much covers the waterfront for "The Promise".

Here is a review from the Los Angles Times, picked up by The Detroit News, which may be the most over the top encomium disguised as a review I have ever read.
