10/10

One of the, if not THE, funniest movies I have ever seen.

The timing, the plot, the acting, the variety of people, all of this make up a movie which literally had me crying with laughter for the entire second half of the film. I wanted to watch it again immediately, and likely would have if it hadn't been 2:30 am. The idea of the film is that these actors - playing actors - pull together, fight, and put up with each other to keep a play going. This is John Ritter as his amusing self, without going overboard. This is Christopher Reeve: tall, good looking, humble, funny. Carol Burnett being just ... HER. This is Julie Haggerty meek, mild, and under control. Mostly. This is Michael Caine, sly and cranky. Typecasting? NOOOO!!*grin* The whole cast is perfect for their respective roles. Tiny TINY bit of language, but otherwise something for a variety of ages. Find it, make popcorn, sit and watch - but don't eat the popcorn around the second half, you might choke.

Trivia
Michael Caine only agreed to be in the film if the director also cast Denholm Elliott. Caine had known Elliott since they appeared in 'Alfie' (1966), 26 years previously, and Elliott had confided in Caine that he had AIDS and didn't have long to live. Knowing this was likely to be Elliott's last chance of a paycheck Caine insisted on his inclusion. Elliott died just a few months after the theatrical release of the movie of complications from AIDS.

Goofs
When the viewer see the show from the stage, fake walls are visible behind all the doors. When the viewer sees the show from backstage, those fake walls are missing from all the upstairs doors, although present for the downstairs doors. This is not actually a mistake; this is how an actual stage production is presented, and the top floor of the set rear needs to be seen clearly or half the action would be obscured.
