Bob L A cornball bonbon with a "Who's Who" cast list, an excellent time capsule for anyone nostalgic for late 1980s/early 90s, and not a bad movie to boot. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/21/24 Full Review Jonathan L So much personality, not gonna win any awards, but I really enjoyed this movie. It's not shot in a particularly interesting way, and the score is not Silvestri's best, but the casting was on POINT. Every character felt so naturally, and fit into the chaotic, corny nature of the film perfectly. Special note to the pairing of RDJ and Cathy Moriarty, they were hillarious. Also the plot was perfect for the Soap Opera theme. 80/100 Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/13/24 Full Review Jeff M I have a complicated history with this film. When I first saw it upon its release, I didn't like it at all. Revisiting it a few years later, I did a total 180 and considered it one of my favorite recent comedies. And now many years later, I find myself stuck in the middle of my two previous opinions. I love the farcical nature of the film - there are some wonderful sight gags and some witty repartee between the characters. And Field has a field day (pun intended) with the Susan Lucci-like main character. While it may not technically be her most "important" performance, I feel like it's actually one of her best. However, several of the supporting performances come across very one-note and bordering on the shrill, particularly Cathy Moriarty. But it's still a definite recommendation! The scenes lampooning daytime drama are often spot-on, and the cast is having such a great time, it's hard not to get swept away. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/26/24 Full Review ed w Plug in anywhere, anytime & the cast (omg) & brilliant script willing have you laughing into tears.. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/12/23 Full Review Carlos I Cute little flick that lampoons daytime television. The irony is that it falls into the same tropes as its subject matter, by design I'm sure, but those convolutions make it feel more bloated than hilarious. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review DX C Wacky, witty, and quick – closest thing I can think of to the quip-laden movies of the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Read all reviews
