Rating: Summary: I laugh every time I see this Review: I first saw this movie in the '90s on VHS. The screenplay itself is great; the timing of the lines is perfect! The cast is outstanding. Be careful, though; the first time I saw this film, I fell out of my chair laughing! I've been waiting for the DVD for a long time, but since no one bought it for me for my birthday, I'll just have to buy it myself. Enjoy; and bring the popcorn!
Rating: Summary: Don't Miss the Original Review: I'll echo the companion reviews in raves for the film itself and my great delight in replacing my timeworn VHS with a new DVD. But what I'd like to add is that this is a remarkably skillful screen adaptation of the even funnier original stage play. By all means, buy the DVD. And if you like the movie, take pains at all costs to see "Noises Off" on stage.The startling novelty is that the entire set rotates between scenes to show first the chaotic tech/dress rehearsal from the front, or audience, view, then depicting a subsequent performance, loaded with interpersonal conflicts and amazingly choreographed sight gags and goofs as seen backstage! The last act shifts back to an audience view of an ensuing performance disaster, leaving you to imagine clearly what must be going on behind the set. The title refers both to the scripted off-stage sound effects and the thumps and crashes that signal the hi jinks backstage. The play is a popular choice for resident theater companies and occasional roadshow productions. Don't miss it!
Rating: Summary: Exit...Stage Everywhere Review: I have been waiting impatiently for this show to come out on DVD. I can't believe it's not a bestseller. One of the funniest shows I have ever seen! We watch it frequently just to lighten our day.
