Broadway Damage: Review

BROADWAY DAMAGE
starstarstarstar
Frothy romantic fun on a shoestring. Writer-director Victor Mignatti offers further evidence that you don't need a lavish budget or a big-name cast to turn out winning entertainment. Robert (Aaron Williams), Marc (Michael Shawn Lucas) and Cynthia (Mara Hobel) are recent college grads looking for careers, boyfriends and an affordable Greenwich Village apartment -- in short, the impossible dream, Manhattan-style. Robert is a shy, Steven Sondheim-worshipping songwriter who's secretly in love with best friend Marc, an aspiring actor; Marc, however, is too busy looking for the perfect 10 to notice. While Robert and Marc pursue love and Broadway stardom, Marc's roommate Cynthia, a compulsive shopper with spiraling credit-card bills, angles for a job with magazine editor Tina Brown. Unfortunately, her "creative" tactics soon attract the attention of the FBI. That this well-worn premise actually works is due to Mignatti's sharp script -- the film is full of incisive observations about the often harsh realities of dating that anyone, gay or straight, can relate to -- and a trio of appealing performances. Hobel, in particular, is wonderful, and comes complete with built-in camp clout: As a child she starred as the young Christina Crawford, the little girl on the receiving end of Joan Crawford's wire hanger tirade in MOMMIE DEAREST. leave a comment --Ken Fox
