Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus - Live!
Skimming lightly along the surface with all the depth of a Mork & Mindy episode, Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus-Live! hijacks a 25-year-old self-help book and recasts it as a two-act stand-up comedy routine. If you’re straight, cis-gendered and of a certain age, the predictable topics may resonate with you and yours — how men can watch sports on TV all day, what women really mean when they say they have nothing to wear, and why men should shut up and listen while women complain instead of trying to fix everything.
The author of the original book, Peter Gray, appears on film to present animated segments, including a look at the ways males and females keep different scoring systems to determine how their relationships are faring. It’s hardly a gender studies lecture, but the glib and breezy show benefits from solid storytelling that threads through the brisk quips. Still, its premise — namely, that men and women approach life from different perspectives — could use an update in our era of shifting gender roles and identites. This Valentine’s event is for the traditional-minded.
