British silliness at its best.......2007-05-13
A dysfunctional bunch of actors tries to deal with a lame script; starting at the final dress rehearsal, the premiere, and several months later on the tour. The more they do the play, the worse their interpersonal problems become. It's all in fun, enjoy!
Applause! Applause!!.......2007-04-23
Although I enjoyed it immensely the first time, this hysterical showbiz farce, got funnier with each viewing. It is also a good idea to watch it at least once with the subtitles on, since the dialogue is extremely fast paced. The the actors are delightful. Michael Caine plays the two-timing director with his usual perfection, and Carol Burnett plays the temperamental leading lady with her usual panache. Both John Ritter and Christopher Reeve are very funny, the former as the neurotic leading man and the latter as a dim-witted method actor who has to have his off-stage beat for removing a box of groceries explained to him. Marylu Henner and Nicolette Sheridan are excellent in their supporting roles, as is Denholm Elliott, a has-been actor who hides bottles of whisky in convenient cubby-holes back stage. I especially enjoyed Mark Linn Baker who plays the beleaguered stage manager.
Peter Bogdonovich's direction as well as his actors' split-second timing makes this farce a real treat. Doors open and close, plates of sardines get passed back and forth, props get mislaid, and everything goes exactly right--before it goes awfully wrong.
And therein lies the fun!
A Hidden Gem.......2007-04-12
Hardly anyone I've ever spoken to has heard of this movie, which is unusual considering the caliber of the cast including: Michael Caine, Christopher Reeves, Carol Burnett, etc. This movie is one of my all time favorites. The perfect movie to curl up on the couch and watch on a rainy day. It's slap stick at its best. If you haven't seen it yet, I highly recommend it.
Noises Off.......2007-03-14
This is a really funny movie! Top stars have been amassed with an awesome script. Lots of great physical humor. While many pants are dropped and much underwear seen, with the exception of a few vulgarities, it's a pretty clean film. A must see for theatre buffs who like a behind the scenes view.
This is my favorite moive of all time.......2007-01-25
"Now I know what God felt like when he sat out there in the darkness creating the world . . . very pleased he'd taken his valium" (Lloyd - played by Michael Caine).
I found this movie sitting on a shelf collecting dust in an old video store. I rented it once and was hooked. The casting is superb and the material is hilarious. It helps if you like British humor as this movie is based on a British play of the same name.
It all centers on the set of a new "sex farce", showing the behind the scenes antics of the cast and crew (though mostly cast). Love triangles, jealousy, and payback all come into play. As the cast moves from rehearsing the show to performing it, things fall apart back stage - which is reflected in their performance on stage as the play within the movie falls apart as well.
The physical comedy, particularly by the able John Ritter, is wonderful, and Carol Burnette does a wonderful job as Dotty, the forgetful onstage housekeeper. What really makes this movie work is the chemistry between the characters - they work so smoothly together, it's like they've been there for years.
After seeing the movie more than a dozen times, I found it was playing in my area at a local playhouse. I've since seen the play numerous times (and I'm seeing it again in three days). It's as funny (if not funnier) than the movie, which was hard to beat. The movie director made minor changes - like moving the location of the play within the play to America instead of Europe and changing the play Lloyd was working on from Richard III to Hamlet. All to appeal more to the American audience. Other than that, they stuck very close to the original script and do tremendous justice to it.
If you don't enjoy dry wit and physical comedy, don't see this movie, you won't enjoy it at all. But if you like senseless romps, sticky triangles, and silly antics, then buy or rent Noises Off - you won't be disappointed.
