Humor Me

 Ned had downloaded a movie called Humor Me from OnDemand and that was going to be our first movie, but Marta watched it on her own and I watched it over the weekend.  Ned still hasn't seen it.

This was made in 2017 and also has a cast of unknowns-to-me (Joey Slotnick, Bernie McInerney, Thor Feldman), but at least I knew Elliot Gould's name.  

Slotnick is a playwright with writer's block whose wife divorces him and leaves him without any money, so he moves in with his father in a senior facility.  It's labeled a comedy and it does have funny stuff in it, but it's more a dramady.  Looking for "something to do" at the facility, Slotnick is talked into directing their upcoming production, which happens to be The Mikado. 
 

We don't know if they do the whole Mikado or just "Three Little Maids," which is all we see.  But what a perfect movie for me.  I loved it, and especially the final version of "Three Little Maids," which is hilarious.  Having watched that number performed in every possible way imaginable in Lamplighters galas, this was perfect.
