On the surface, May Contain Nuts has a basic plot and TV production value, especially with regards to the shot composition; close-ups and cuts. Luckily the film is more than the sum of its parts. The absurdity of the plot and the characters' general ambivalence play into the comedy really well. The commentary of class perception and divide is mildly hyperbolic but relatively accurate, as is the glossed over racism. Henderson (Alice) & Williams (Ruby) are great. Good, for what it is.
