Reader Feedback on "Object of Afflecktion"
I actually like Ben and Matt because they have a brain (okay, perhaps they each have half of one, but at least there's a whole one in there somewhere). But seriously, they're pretty smart compared to the rest of Hollywood (in other words, they actually read books, not to mention write screenplays). I've come to respect Matt a lot more than Ben in recent years, if only because he seems to be more interested in his work (of course, I feel kind of silly calling acting "work" as if it is a huge artistic undertaking) rather than publicizing his personal life. Anyway, I found the play amusing and the writers/actors to be quite creative - not to mention rather sweet in their characterizations of the actors. I, for one, was pleased to see that they weren't trying to skewer Ben and Matt according to their various reputations as they could have, but instead presenting an amusing story.

Ben is gay. Matt is not. I know this for a fact. How do I know? I did Ben before they were famous. But I wanted to do Matt. He was so into this skanky girlfriend that it was pathetic. Now Ben has a skanky girlfriend he's about to marry in a real-life remake of Maurice, with Ben playing the Hugh Grant part. BTW, Ben is a bottom.

Actually, this reviewer is huffing gas: MATT AND BEN is an unmitigated piece of steaming birdshit. These tow self-absorbed authors who couldn't act their way out of a paper bag vomit their worthless drivel all over the stage as they desperately pander for attention. The entire production is a crass commecial attempt to grab attention, and it has worked to some extent--but these girls are talentless hacks, and that betrays them in the end. A must avoid.
