Synopsis: Sally Field leads an all-star cast in this side-splittingly funny look at a scandal-ridden TV soap opera.
till HBO began rerunning it this month.
- Joel Siegel, Good Morning America. BRAIN!" Downey jr may not convince entirely as a comedian and has not the timing right all the time, but he struggles with his part which is, to be honest, the most ungrateful one.
The best of them is the climax, a live broadcast that quickly deteriorates into bad improv and a brain transplant. Sally Field leads an all-star cast in this side-splittingly funny look at a scandal-ridden TV soap opera. As Our General Hospital's Doctor's World Turns, the Young and the Restless search for tomorrow and the days of their lives. "I don't need it. So fun to find it on Azon Prime, now that I no longer have VHS and the tape. With Sally Field [who can do no wrong] Kevin Kline [a master of a line and expression] Robert Downey Jr. [brilliant and who can forget the other side of the coin and his performance as Charlie Chaplin] and Whoopi Goldberg [her one liners are a treasure "I'll say amen"] But let us not forget the supporting cast who stand out on their own, not to be overshadowed by the stars.
Reviewed in the United States on January 13, 2019, I’m torn, guys. I think this movie is brutally underrated.
"Her brain will laterally explore within the next few houses." This movie has made me laugh for decades. Cathy Moriarty [very imposing and having a surprise for us all later in the plot working flawlessly along side of Downey] Elisabeth Shue [who can bring honesty along with humor in her performance] Paul Johansson [gorgeous hunk playing the soap hero bringing some very funny moments on his own] the delightful Kathy Najimy [who steals every scene she's in as the costumer who keeps dragging smokes throughout the film] Carrie Fisher [small role of casting agent on the lust for Rob Camilletti, an actor auditioning for a one liner as waiter] and the delectable Terri Hatcher as one of the stars of the soap who spends most of her time pushing up her breasts for the camera and for off camera.
I think that this is possibly the funniest movie I have ever seen. We don’t share your credit card details with third-party sellers, and we don’t sell your information to others. It's not Arthur Miller or T.S. This movie is about a fictional soap opera.
A trans woman is treated as a man in disguise, who apparently goes back to living as a man when publicly outed.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 22, 2012. Great use of all the star power in the movie, this amazing comedy will not disappoint you! Ridiculous in a good way, no, make that a great way. Reviewed in the United States on December 17, 2019. Sally Field is heading the field of truly outstanding actors and does a good, if not perfect, job with her daytime tv-diva. "Soap Dish" is a very funny farce on the Soap Opera business, focusing on the dramas that often occur behind the cameras as well as making fun of the genre itself in front of the camera.
The dialogue is beautifully on target with "soap talk", and the characters created by these talented stars are at the same time over-the-top and realistic (realistic in that Soap Opera sense of reality).
It's hard to take seriously someone who started her career as a "flying nun", but Sally Field was spot on in this.
So fun to find it on Azon Prime, now that I no longer have VHS and the tape. Funny twist on character David barnes who is played by rdj who is in a lusting pursuit for a soap actor who is not whom they seem. Reviewed in the United States on January 13, 2019, I’m torn, guys.
Kevin Klein, Sally Field, Robert Downey Jr. all turn in superb performances as expected. Reviewed in the United States on December 17, 2017. This is by far the most consistently hilarious comedy I have ever seen.
She is brilliant as she is stressed out in most scenes and also so funny. I love this movie! Now THAT is only in the first few minutes. If that would nag at you the whole time, stay away.

From the opening credits to and through the final credits ballroom cast celebration, this movie had me laughing and applauding the nonsense and hysterical plot. I have to get this on DVD, that's just all there is to it. It was, and is, an excellent example also of self-referential cinema.
Kline's running into the door after scoping out Teri Hatcher - great too!)
I love this movie!
This is without doubt one of my all-time favourite movies. Prime members enjoy FREE Delivery and exclusive access to music, movies, TV shows, original audio series, and Kindle books. Robert Harling's script is near perfect, just check out the "quotes" section; on second thought, just rent the DVD, since it's the delivery that really makes the lines sing.
I watched this again in 2019 after not having seen it in twenty years.
But the shining star here is Cathy Moriarty as Celeste, a true bitch if there ever was one with more than one nasty secret (you will see in the absolutely stunning finale!). Viewed it first run, and it still makes you laugh out loud. Unable to add item to List.
There are few comedies like this, where almost every line and every character come close to flawless.
Prime members enjoy FREE Delivery and exclusive access to music, movies, TV shows, original audio series, and Kindle books. I can quote this movie for hours on end.
Amazon's Choice recommends highly rated and well-priced products. Almost every little details in this movie contributes to its hilariousness. I never hear anyone talk about this movie or even admit hearing of it, but it's marvelous and I highly recommend seeing it. But more than anything - an amazing cast and an incredible script. Love this movie, can't tell you how many times I have seen it and it gets better each time. If you have never followed a soap opera, you might appreciate how goofy this is.
What a cast of stellar performers in certainly an ensemble approach to this flick. We work hard to protect your security and privacy. I love Soapdish! Rentals include 30 days to start watching this video and 48 hours to finish once started. You can tell they were all having an incredible time with this plot within a plot that has so many little twists and turns. To say anything else would ruin the movie. This is one of the best comedy ever ! Sometimes I'll throw it on while doing housecleaning, and end up sitting on the couch, watching, laughing and thoroughly enjoying the whole wonderful thing. This often overlooked, brilliant comedy is full of stars: Robert Downey Jr., Whoopi Goldberg, Kevin Kline, Elizabeth Shue, Sally Field, Kathy Moriarty and more. All of the performances are top notch, yet Whoopie Goldberg and Sally Field really make this movie!
The opening credits set the playful scene with kitsch late 1950s cartoon stills; an enchanting Peres 'Prez' Prado mambo theme which appears to be curiously uncredited (but his grunts are unmistakable, and no-one else did them); and with familiar cast names, including Kathy Najimi a full year before she hit with Sister Acts 1 & 2 plus Teri Hatcher from TV's Superman.
I was surprised that I liked this as much as I did. In fact, I ended up enjoying it even more thirty years after it’s release, which means it holds up. I was surprised that I liked this as much as I did, Reviewed in the United States on May 3, 2018.
