Hilarious to say the least........2006-04-11
This movie is an all star cast funny comedy. The movie is about the work and relationships of casts on a popular soap opera on TV. Aside from the comedy, the producers did a good job of showing what real life for the stars could be like. This is like a look behind the scenes of what happens on film sets. The back stabbing antics of co-stars, each trying to bring the other down in other to ascend / shine and the lies that stars have to tell in order to keep their public image. I guess we can all appreciate that the same kind of politics goes on in some offices and other work places. What I found most interesting was that despite several plots by some of the characters to bring down the lead actress (played by Sally Fields' character) because she had won so many awards and remained a fan favorite, their plots always backfired and if anything increased her popularity and rating, which gave me a lot of satisfaction, because I don't think that anyone should ascend or shine by pulling others down. What will be will be, you just have to keep working hard without harming others in the process and your time will come. You will love the plotting and the scheming and the twisting of the plot. It is hilarious and funny. Great comedy, I recommend
A Neglected Gem.......2003-10-06
I saw this in a free cinema preview a week before its release, and laughed almost non-stop. The writing is sharp, the premise witty and the actors seems to really be enjoying their roles. I've never really understood why this film isn't better known - at this price, just buy it on the off chance and have a look. I'd be surprised if you don't find yourself agreeing with me.
Hilarious remains of the '80s.......2002-08-27
This film is truly funny. The acting capability of Sally Field, Kevin Kline, Elisabeth Shue, Whoopi Goldberg etc. is well known - and the script is made with intelligent sense of the soap opera reality. The details of the soap opera in the film will make you laugh, the self centered egos of the soap's "stars" will make you fall down your chair and the plot itself will make you go over the top laughing, as the actors themselves. "Soapdish" is a funny but forgotten gem. I warmly recommend it to anyone who loves a clean and wild satire. It is simply awsome and gets better every time you watch it!
