COMEDY. They say you should never swim on a full stomach. They say you should never talk to strangers. They say you should never say never. Who exactly are “they”? And who do they think they are?! Martin and Gloria They, two know-it-alls, have moved in next door to Joe and Betty. These windbags think they have the answer to everything, and they instantly begin telling Betty and Joe what to do. But with the help of a blowtorch, a chainsaw, and a lawn chair, Betty and Joe are able to teach their annoying neighbors a thing or two. Opportunities to showcase physical humor abound in this witty, fast-paced comedy.
