KC Fringe "Heaven So Far" review by Rabid_Reviewer


Film Classics presentation better than Heaven
Rating: 3

Film Classics Presents: Heaven So Far
KC Fringe Festival

I finally caught this show at the Hangover presentations.  I loved the Film Classics presentation by De De DeVille.  Fun, witty, and just plain drunken pleasure.

The film being presented, Heaven So Far, did not please me so well.  To be fair, it paced about as well as B movies of the fifties tended do in reality.  However, that pacing left me bored, wanting desperately for De De to interrupt with another announcement.  De De frequently fast forwarded the play within the play and just told us what we missed, for which I am grateful.

The actors in Heaven So Far did a fine job.  The sexual innuendos were obvious and took too long to set up in my opinion.  There were great moments in the show, separated by lengthy periods of getting around to the point.

Not a bad show.  Not a great show.  Just an amusing diversion if you have nothing better to do.  Plenty of clever bits, but too much in between waiting for those bits to happen.
