I sort of wish this wasn't a comedy. Women complaining of PMS like symptoms around this time period were either given one of two things (depending on the doctor); either a vibrator, or they were forced against their will into an asylum.

I'm sure it will be a good movie but the truth still retains the title of being much more interesting than fiction.

I think it's a good thing to play up the comedic aspect of something that was also terribly tragic at the time. Laughter can be very cathartic.


::looks forward to a comedy about the end of religious superstition::
