Movie #3081 "Company" (netflix dvd) I never really liked this show all that much; it never really clicked for me, but transitions are a little smoother here and they connect the dots for us on the meaning of the show -- much like the movie version of "Chicago" when the director made more sense of the musical with his transitions. We did see this show once on the college level with one of our own alums as the lead, and he was great, but the show overall lacked the depth in the secondary people, and seem to move out of focus from one vignette to the next --- this one with a loaded cast of very skillful people (including Patti Lupone, and Martha Plimpton) hits 100% as a strong backup to an equally strong Bobby played by Neil Patrick Harris. I'd give this a 5 out of 5.
