|
| Two David Mamet-obsessed writers pitch their play to Reginald, an African-American theatre director. Their work is a derivative doozy -- a compilation of all things Mamet, including con artists, rhythmic dialogue, and lots and lots of profanity. Reginald sees right through their Mametisms and urges them to rediscover their own voices, but the boys find that maybe there's another hero out there to emulate... |

| "Casarino's wit is obvious as he targets the characters for ridicule. His writing always stays just a step ahead of the audience, supplying an unexpected laugh when they anticipate a conventional gag." |
