It is perhaps fitting that I went to see "Matt and Ben" with a friend. After all, the Off-Broadway hit is about two longtime friends, albeit dazzlingly lucky ones.

Didn’t like it, jokes flat, characters not interesting (even though it was Damon and Affleck). Just a vindictive charade fueled by jealousy - Most of the people who laughed were a bunch of northeast brats ashamed of their trust funds.
Thumbs Up! Thumbs Down!
Saw a production of this show at Miners Alley Playhouse in Golden, Colorado and it was spectacular! Fun, and bawdy, I thought before I went that two women playing men would not work. Boy was I wrong. Within minutes of the shows opening, I believed the two were "Matt and Ben". Expressions, speaking, cadence, everything exuded Affleck and Damon. It was a romp and the one-liners just kept coming. Spectacular performances by two local actresses kept the entire show top-knotch. Fun, and entertaining, however, leave the kids at home because there are several "F" bombs which I am sure are accurate in the way Matt and Ben would speak to each other. Five Stars for Matt and Ben.
