One of my all time favorite comedy movies. I highly recommend watching this.
Zany! Hijinks! Soap opera fun! I have know idea how this one aged.
If soap operas were funny, intelligent, and faced paced then they'd be this movie. It's nearly perfect.
Great actors putting on an enjoyable performance. Also, RDJ was just a baby when he was in it, so that's fun.
Satire based around the world of daytime soap operas. And is as exciting and funny as it sounds.
A talented cast and some humorous moments, but it ultimately feels uneven and doesn't fully deliver on its comedic potential.
Fantastic all around. RDJ, Sally Field, and Cathy Moriarty stood out and were hilarious!
The cast makes this movie. They play off each other very well and make the film's absurdity believable and entertaining to watch.
Delightful performances & a hilarious rendering of soap cliches into a farce.
What a fun watch, compleate over the top humor that keeps you engaged throughout, would recommend!
