Summary: awesome movie
Review: clever, hillarious, goofy, great! this movie never got the recognition it deserves. it's a fantastic escape.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Simply Fabulous
Review: I cannot say enough about this movie... so I will keep is short. The movie deserves to be made into DVD. It is funny all the way through. I have seen it several times over the last few years and it still holds up. Whatever reviewer did this up the first time obviously was having a bad day.. or too much of a fan of soap opera's to be able to see the humor in it all. I thought the casting wonderful. (my, this is a bunch of words for keeping it short). If you are looking for a camp movie... bring a sleeping bag and make some smore's... this one is a winner.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A Clever Movie & A Funny One
Review: I hope the people who made this movie are very proud of it.

A very clever idea & they completely pulled it off.

Sometimes more clever than funny. Sometimes clever AND funny. Not a five star comedy, but a full four stars.

Sally Field proves herself as a consumate comedienne & she's easy to watch her because she doesn't seem to realise it.

Some of it could have been a little more subtle. Some of the 'stars' aren't upto it. Probably wouldn't appeal to everyone...but if you have an inkling that you'd be entertained by this, you probably will be...BUY IT!

Summary: One of the Best Ensemble Casts I've Seen
Review: I love this comedy, because of the terrific cast, most of all. Every actor has a certain part that helps this story. I can watch this over, and over again. The talent in this film is great, and the plot is clever (drama within a drama). Sally Field is great in this movie- -she really proves that she is not only a talent in drama, but she can also be funny. Everyone else shines in this movie, too. There are many characters, but not one overshadows another- -everyone gets their chance to be funny and each role supports another. So, this movie is a little old, but the comedic presences in this one should make it a classic. I'd reccomend this to anyone who loves ensemble casts and/or over-the-top comedy.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I think this movie is super funny
Review: I love this film and i love the aray of stars that are in it. The movie should not be taken seriouly at all but just a sit-back, popcorn munching, and relaxing fun filled movie. It pure delight.One thing i would like to note is the BGM is wonderful. Some thought was really given to this film for the background music. It is well orchestrated and compliments the movie in a wonderful way.You won't be disappointed in this one.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Severe case of...bran fluid!
Review: I was so disappointed to hear that this movie isn't being made for DVD yet. This is one of the funniest movies of all time! From Kevin Kline's brilliant yelling of "My name is Anderson! Anderson!" to Sally Field's serious "I need a moment alone" to the hilarious tell-all surprise ending, the movie reaches new heights with laugh-out-loud moments. I know this sounds like an ad, but this movie is so underrated, and I anxiously await the DVD version.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: This is my favorite oh-it's-on-anyway film. (Spoilers.)
Review: If I'm doing a chore that I don't really want to devote my mind to or if I'm just looking for a pleasant way to spend a rather boring afternoon, "Soapdish," with its endless cast of Oscar winners and nominees, is the movie I watch.

Now, when I first saw it in theaters when I was around 14 or so, I was not as big a fan of it because I wasn't as big of a soap watcher. As I've seen more of the soaps and their surrounding culture that this film lampoons so closely, I find the humor to be spot on.

At this point, I've seen the film so many times that I can recite Celeste's speech about giving up her baby by heart. I know how many people Montana Moorehead attempts to seduce and how many she succeeds in seducing. I know that the producer David is a sniveling pig opportunist who embraces every twist that manages to work in his favor.

The script is hysterical. Line after line is quotable. And though I wouldn't call it a great movie, it's certainly an immense amount of good fun.

And the cast is top-notch, as well. At this point, the Oscar nominees and winners in the cast are: Cathy Moriarty, Whoopi Goldberg, Robert Downey Jr., Elisabeth Shue, Kevin Kline and Sally Field. The film also features funny appearances from notables like Garry Marshall, Teri Hatcher, Costas Mandylor and Carrie Fisher. Oh, and to show its daytime TV savvy, Finola Hughes ("All My Children"), Stephen Nichols ("General Hospital"), John Tesh (late of "Entertainment Tonight") and Leeza Gibbons also make appearances.

Summary: Soapdish
Review: Not only did I enjoy it, but my husband does too. We laugh out loud every time. PLEASE get this on DVD!!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A Laugh Riot!
Review: Sally Field leads an all star cast in the laugh riot "Soapdish." Ms. Field has never been funnier or more appealing, and Kevin Kline matches her every step of the way, as do co-stars Whoopi Goldberg and Robert Downey, Jr. all the way down to Carrie Fisher in a small role. This is one nutty, crazy and funny movie. Everything about it works, which makes it an almost perfect comedy. If you really, really like Sally Field (and who with taste doesn't?) then you'll love this movie.
