Smushy-Face Haley Joel Osment, Cedric the Entertainer, and John Leguizamo Ruin America
Curtain call
 


You know, some people were actually psyched to go see David Mamet's American Buffalo when it hit Broadway last week. Sure, the cast was a little hodge-podge Hollywood — Cedric the Entertainer, John Leguizamo, and the kid from Sixth Sense aren't all known for being master thespians — but it's hard to fuck up the rapid-pace masochism of Mamet on stage unless you talk slowly or don't snort enough anger-meth before the show. But the reviews of the show were terrible,

So alas, the first week of the play was a Mamet disappointment (ha?!) and it's closing less than 8 days after it opened. Still, if you want see a men treating other men like crap, there is always Speed-the-Plow at the Ethel Barrymore Theatre. And that production has Jeremy Piven, whose Ari Gold is prototypical Mamet, and Peggy from Mad Men in it, and is a majorly more cohesive production than the slapdash Buffalo.
