The set-up:
Sam Bobrick's romantic comedy, Getting Sara Married, is so airy it floats away while we're watching. This might be perfectly acceptable when such fluff is on TV (which, trust me, is where this whole enterprise gets its inspiration), but when stuck in a theater without other distractions, a featherweight sit-com can weigh a ton of bricks.
The execution:
It's no surprise Sara has TV written all over it -- Bobrick is a former master craftsman of the family comedy. He's had his hand in The Andy Griffith Show, Bewitched, Get Smart, and The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour, among many other classic shows, so he knows all about the technique for writing comedy. He could write one blindfolded.
