MISS IN HER TEENS

Cinemavixion Review

Matthew Butler-Hart's 2014 adaptation of David Garrick's 18th-century farce, "Miss in Her Teens," offers a delightful romp through mistaken identities and romantic entanglements. The film, set against a backdrop inspired by the original play, follows the spirited Biddy Bellair as she navigates a sea of suitors while awaiting her true love's return from war. The ensemble cast, featuring esteemed actors like Ian McKellen and Simon Callow, brings a gravitas and comedic timing that elevates the material. Despite its modest origins and a runtime of just over an hour, the production successfully captures the playful spirit of Garrick's work. This charming piece is a testament to the enduring appeal of classic comedy and a worthy diversion for those seeking wit and lighthearted romance.
