Plot: In the comedic farce Soapdish, the behind-the-scenes lives of several soap opera actors are just as melodramatic as those of their television counterparts. Sally Field stars as Celeste Talbert, the star of a declining TV show. To make matters worse, Talbert's career is thrown into turmoil when her rival, Montana Moorehead (Cathy Moriarty), tries to persuade producer David Barnes (Robert Downey Jr.) to write Talbert off the show. Smitten by Moorehead, Barnes comes up with a scheme to get Talbert off the show by hiring her niece Lori (Elisabeth Shue) and then Jeffrey (Kevin Kline), an old flame and cast member who was written out of the show 20 years prior. Soon, mayhem rules on the set as the cast and crew tangle, culminating in a special episode, broadcast live. ~ Matthew Tobey, All Movie Guide

so hilariously funny you'll cry
Added 10/14/2009

This movie is a laugh out loud film that will keep you in stitches throughout the entire story. The beloved main characters work together so well and each one makes you feel as though you really understand and before you know it, you are so caught up in the drama that you end up laughing your head off. Excellent for anyone who needs a good belly laugh.

Great film!
Added 7/4/2009

This is, in my opinion, one of Sally Field's best. Her acting is brilliant, and makes the movie. Perfectly cast, funny, entertaining. You do NOT need to be a fan of soap operas to appreciate the humor!

One of the great romantic comedies
Added 11/18/2008

Comedy is a dicey business. For some, it isn't funny unless it's current and political. To others it's all about how people get along together. Luckily, this movie gives everyone a chance to laugh. While this is a romantic comedy, with all of the usual "boy meets/rejects/gets rejected by/reunites with girl" plots, it is also a timeless look at the business of television, soap operas in particular. The only indication that this movie might not be current is the over-the-top 80s wardrobe.

Also, the cast certainly contributes to the experience. Just watching Robert Downey Jr., Sally Field, Carrie Fisher, Kevin Kline, Elizabeth Shue, Terry Hatcher, Whoopie Goldberg, Garry Marshall and Cathy Moriarty tear up the scenery is a complete treat.

You won't regret owning this one.

Just a really funny movie!
Added 10/9/2008

So silly, so funny -- the near-sighted Kevin Kline trying to read his cue cards (bran flavor? brake fluid? brain fever!), Whoopie Goldberg's exasperated writer (what do you mean bring him back? He was de-capitated! How am I going to write for someone without a head?!). Great cast, funny funny movie.
