Noises Off...

Description

This hilariously sexy, all-star comedy promises to be an entertaining treat you're sure to love! Featuring some of today's biggest comedy favorites, including Carol Burnett (TV's THE CAROL BURNETT SHOW), John Ritter (BAD SANTA), Michael Caine (THE CIDER HOUSE RULES), and Christopher Reeve (SUPERMAN) -- NOISES OFF! is an outrageously funny look at the love, lies, and deceit that take place behind the scenes as a group of ridiculously inept stage actors rehearse a Broadway-bound play! Just when members of this chaotic cast finally get their performances right, everything starts going wrong!

An underappreciated gem.......2007-09-09

This is a very funny movie, no pretense, just plain funny. The performances are pure comic genius somewhere between the Marx Brothers, W.C. Fields and The Keystone Kops.

Laugh so hard..........2007-08-30

The cast list alone is enough to recommend this film! The first time I watched this, I was crying from laughing so hard. The silent, back-stage fight scene is one of the most hilarious things I have ever seen (except for maybe the cow scene in "Rat Race"). It is the kind of slap-stick comedy that is timeless. The subject matter is a little sexual, though, so maybe not the best family film.

One of the funniest movies/plays you'll ever see.......2007-08-26

I read the play first last year, without knowing anything about it, and fell in love with it.

I then found out that a movie had been made, so I immediately got it and watched it - and not just any movie, but a movie with a cast of ALL brilliant A-level actors: Carol Burnett, Michael Caine, the terribly under-rated John Ritter, and others.

Enjoy the movie for its rare assemblage of so much raw talent in one movie.

Enjoy it for the brilliantly executed acting, gags, dialogue, and pratfalls.

But mostly, enjoy it because it is a wicked gut-wrenchingly hilarious and brilliantly clever romp.

One of the funniest plays (and movies) I have ever witnessed, with a humor that increases exponentially in the third act to the point that I was almost unable to breath from laughing so much.

Movies like this make me pine for the days when studios would assemble the world's best talents into one movie and give us a truly special experience. Watching a play or a movie in which EVERY actor is top notch and on top form is a remarkable joy, one of those rare experiences that makes life worth living, and this movie is one of them.

It also make me pine for the days when John Ritter was still alive, and regret that he was so rarely given a chance to show the world his true capability as an actor and as a comedic actor. This is perhaps his best performance. If you are a John Ritter fan like me, this is your movie. (And if you are a Christopher Reeve fan, this is one of his finest performances, and you'll see how much his talent was wasted on the Superman movies).

Great movie!.......2007-08-07

This is one of the best comedy movies around. The movie may be old but the comedy never gets old. :)

Mildly disapointing.......2007-07-06

I had the privilege of attending a live 3 hour production of Noises Off. It was just about the funniest thing that I have ever seen. I couldn't catch my breath until the final curtain from laughing so hard.
I purchased the Hollywood version to share with friends, and found that it just wasn't very funny at all. The timing didn't seem to be as good with the gags, and it was only half the duration of the live production. I expected more from an all star cast.
