A truly outstanding ensemble cast

It's 98% perfect til the last 5 minutes

Dated, insensitive jokes aside, Soapdish has a lot going for it. This kind of slapstick is enormously difficult to pull off well, and director Michael Hoffman does an admirable job of keeping the plotand bantermoving at a rapid-fire pace.

...Soapdish is funnier than most industry lampoons and in-jokes...
| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 20, 2021
The progressively frenetic bent of Harling and Bergman's script paves the way for a gleefully over-the-top third act...
| Original Score: 3/4 | Jan 14, 2021
Hilarious '90s soap opera spoof; sexual innuendo, cursing.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 28, 2017
| Original Score: C- | Sep 7, 2011
Soapdish is a flurry of activity without a dedicated core, neutering displays of slapstick and the force of the satiric crescent kick.
| Original Score: C- | May 31, 2011
Fundamentally, its subject for satire isn't all that clever.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Feb 27, 2008
Soapdish aims at a satiric target as big as a Macy's float and intermittently hits it.
| Feb 27, 2008
Not as funny as the real thing and unlikely to be anywhere near as successful as the leading real-life exponents of the art.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 27, 2008
A funny, sharply-written film more pertinent in the Noughties than it was upon its first release.
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Feb 27, 2008
This movie certainly has its dopey moments, but if you're feeling indulgent you're likely to have a good time with it.

Nothing succeeds like excess, this comedy would have us believe.
