Movie Haiku:Overly-stagey version of Broadway Tony-winner. Playwright Yasmina Reza adapted her own script & director Polanski decided to do keep it "as is" without any opening up. Too bad. The core is a fascinating tale of two couples trying to maintain "civilized" behavior after their sons become involved in a schoolyard fight, but what works on stage look totally fake on screen.
