The whole thing feels so staged that I expected to see cue cards somewhere in the background.

Fast-paced and enjoyable enough, aided by the dynamite duo of Steve Martin and Goldie Hawn.

For all the connection the current reprise has to reality, it could be called The Out-of-Touch.

How much you enjoy this 'Out-of-Towners' will have a lot to do with how many times you can laugh at what amounts to a series of variations on the same joke.
