The Foreigner - April 8-23, 2016
One of the late Larry Shue’s most popular comedies,
The Foreigner provides not just plenty of laughs, but a sizeable portion of wonderful insights into human foibles. “The central character is Charlie Baker, a painfully shy British proofreader who briefly escapes a disastrous marriage by spending a few days at a reomote Georgia hunting lodge. He’s brought there by an old military buddy, demolitions expert Froggy Leseur, who concocts a wild scheme to protect Charlie from having to interat with others at the lodge – telling them that he’s a foreigner who neither speaks nor understands English. This fairly simple set-up paves the way for several hilarious – and insightful – scenes, when the others spill the beans about some rather dark and potentially disastrous secrets (thinking that Charlie has no idea what they’re divulging).
