The film is set behind the scenes at The Sun Also Sets, a soap opera starring Sally Field that is suffering a ratings slump. To lure the audience back, the producers resurrect a dead character, played by Kevin Kline, with whom Field was once a lover of but is now at odds (and helped exile to dinner theater, where he is first glimpsed playing Willy Loman). Written by Andrew Bergman and Robert Harling, the script has its funny moments but never manages to string them together, despite a cast that includes Whoopi Goldberg, Robert Downey Jr., Cathy Moriarty, and Carrie Fisher. --Marshall Fine Average Rating:
 Rating:  - A Must WatchGreat romantic Comedy. Great plot, a little dark at times, which you'll love. What a cast! Really, you need to see this flick! Rating:  - Plain funWhen this movie came out I was younger than 10. But I remember watching it every single time they had it on TBS or TNT. This movie is, plainly put, a lot of fun. Very funny interpretations and a hell of a cast. Rating: - A film for soap opera buffs featuring actors playing actorsThis 1991 release features actors playing actors and is ideal for soap opera buffs. It's like what Michael J. Fox did in THE HARD WAY,what Ted Danson did in THREE MEN AND A BABY and THREE MEN AND A LITTLE LADY and what Richard Dreyfuss did in MOON OVER PARADOR. Anyway,actress Celeste Talbert(Sally Field) wins an Emmy for her portrayal on the (fictitious) daytime serial The Sun Also Sets. She returns home only to be met with great sadness. She learned via message on her answering machine that her ... Read More Rating: - Wonderful! Funny!If you grew up watching soap operas or had to watch them for a living as I did (yes, seriously) you will LOVE THIS MOVIE! Super performances by all, especially Cathy Moriarty. Even my husband loves this flick! Highly recommended! Rating: - it's enough to make me write one liners for a person without a headSoapdish is a delightfully funny comedy about the actors on a soap opera (The Sun Also Sets) whose real lives top their lives on the television show. The convincing acting and the zesty script with its one liners kept my attention all the way through; and the choreography works wonders in the scenes where we see the soap opera show within the movie. The action begins with Montana Moorehead (Cathy Moriarty) plotting with David Seton Barnes (Robert Downy, Jr.), TV exec, to get the older ... Read More |
