I am going to see American Buffalo on Thursday night, and I just want to find out the running time. Thanks.

Posted: 11/9/08 at 10:32amThe movie was a little over 90 minutes. No idea what the difference is but will see it this afternoon so we shall see.

Posted: 11/9/08 at 11:21amI was there last night too and could not believe how late that show started. And even after the show started there were still audience members coming to sit down in the mezzanine. Even with the delay I think we were on the street at 8:25, so the show is just around 2 hours as kidmanboy said.

At yesterday's matinee, it let out around 4:30 -- with a delay at the beginning.
I don't agree with some of the negative response that has been on the boards -- I thought all of them were fine, with Leguizamo being outstanding. I had no problems with Cedric, either -- thought he gave a thoughtful and restrained performance. Mamet can be tricky but, at least yesterday, the pacing was good and the play moved well.
Good though Leguizamo was, though, I kept thinking how fantastic Raul would be as Teach. Oh, well, he can't do two things at one time, I guess.
