Dough: The Musical Rocks!

OK, this is going to be my summer obsession. The ratings suck to the point that they're cutting back to one episode per week. And the show itself is still being overdramatic in a bad reality show kind of way. But the films shown on "On The Lot" are worth the aggravation. This week, five films were shown and one of the five will be voted off. Film #1, "Broken Pipe Dreams" was clever and gets kudos for using a Boston Terrier. Film #2, "Teri (Blind Date)" OK, but seemed a bit derivative. Film #3, "The First Time I Met The Finklesteins" was like a bad "Meet The Fockers" and was terrible. Film #5, "Laughing Out Loud: A Comic Journey" had beautiful photography but I found the subject hard to understand because of his accent and I wasn't expecting a documentary. But to me, the most original of the night was Film #4, "Dough: The Musical." With a "Little Shop of Horrors" type song and stylistic feel and clever lyrics, it was a total winner for me! Make sure you check it out!
