David Bax Battleship Pretension Opening Night is far too superficial and forced to have that effect. You'll leave having laughed but not having seen anything new. Jan 6, 2021 Full Review Lea Palmieri Decider If you're in the mood for a raunchier, even more screwball comedy than Pitch Perfect, Opening Night just might be your jam.

Audience Member Awesome movie with great cinematography! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member Fantastic film. Avoids all of the major pitfalls and cliches and delivers a heart-warming take on a classic theme. Highly recommend taking a look. I almost never laugh out loud at movies and this had my face tired from laughing/smiling so much. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member In the off-beat world of high school theater, a group of mis-fits struggle to get their play off the ground. Fun watching experience with great acting and a good script. If you're tired of the big studio scene, then art films like this are the ticket! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Wow! What a fantastic film! Cheyenne Jackson and Anthony Rapp are absolutely hysterical together. Not to mention Mitchell Jarvis' laugh-out-loud performance as Shakespeare! This movie will have anyone and everyone dying of laughter. 10/10 would recommend!
