    I had the privilege of seeing this live during its theatrical run, and it was just as fun on screen as it was on stage. All the actors absolutely nail their roles, the set design and costumes are outstanding, the accompanying music is great, and the writing of the play itself is fantastic - and both funny and poignant to this day.

    This film is nothing short of an absolute mess. In its attempt to vilify the exploitation of Marilyn Monroe, it itself proves to be an exploitative disaster. It shows overly gratuitous, violent, and sexual scenes in order to garner false emotion, which in actuality achieves nothing more than perpetuating the cycle of Hollywood's abuse of a dead woman who can't defend herself. No movie needs seven shots of CGI foetuses, but this film thought it did. On top of two very graphic abortion scenes. Unnecessary doesn't even begin to describe it, but the word disgusting does. This simply should never have been made.
