    Cyrano (the 1950 version) is one of my husband's favorite movies. Although I thought the acting was good, I didn't care for the adaptation. I also thought the cussing could have been left out and the innuendos. I'm not sure why that is always included in a modern…

    I didn't know anything about it going in, but I fell in love. Very unique style for the adaptation, but it really worked.

    James McAvoy was the only thing I liked about this play. There was a lot of bad language and a gay kiss that were not at all necessary to the story. The play was done in an artsy weird way and wasn't at all what I was expecting. There were many elements that had me…
