Richard H I either saw this on the stage or somehow it just feels predictable. I'm not a big fan of Christopher Reeve or John Ritter, although I typically love Carol Burnett. It consists of a lot of sight gags and slapstick humor, and I think Michael Caine overacts in this film. I lot interest less than halfway through. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/13/24 Full Review Alec B It comes pretty close, closer than I anticipated, to recapturing the brilliant and hilarious energy of the play. Of course even a master like Bogdanovich can't quite get it there. Also the movie is hurt by the wrongly triumphant ending. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/20/24 Full Review Philip L One of the funniest films I have ever had the pleasure to watch. Excellent timing between the actors and some wonderful talent, now gone from us, at their peak. Just brilliant on every level. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/06/24 Full Review Steve D Never works for me as a play or a film. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review jon c Something is off and it's not just the noise The late director Peter Bogdanovich and executive producer Kathleen Kennedy with Frank Marshall bring an ensemble cast to the stage adapting the 1982 play of the same name from Michael Caine to Carol Burnett to the late Christopher Reeve to the late John Ritter to the late Denholm Elliot to Julie Hagerty Hired to helm an Americanized take on a British play, director Lloyd Fellowes does his best to control an eccentric group of stage actors During practice sessions, things run smoothly However, when Lloyd and his actors begin a series of performances leading up to a Broadway premiere, chaos ensues Star actress Dotty is quickly passing her prime, male lead Frederick has no confidence, and bit actor Selsdon is rarely sober Can Lloyd get these people to get their act together before opening night? They've only had 2 weeks to rehearse A majority of this takes place on a stage auditorium so we spend a lot of time here The film loses a lot of its brilliance from the original source material but it is a riot seeing these actors play parts they have to get right for their sake and their director Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member It comes pretty close, closer than I anticipated, to recapturing the brilliant and hilarious energy of the play.
