Having seen this twice as a stage production (and by two different companies!), I have to say that you are really better off seeing it done on stage. The film is good, but it actually suffers by comparison. I think... Full review

Still, Noises Off delights and entertains as a film.
Classic farce material, Noises Off definitely generates more than its fair share of laughter.
Credit Bogdanovich's direction and the engaging cast for making the film succeed as well as it does.

Now, along comes "Noises Off," Touchstone Pictures' Americanized version, which tempts disaster at every turn.

Two disastrous performances follow -- one a helter-skelter matinee seen from the actors' perspective backstage and the other a botched evening show once more on this side of the footlights.
All the flub-ups come as a result of the many physical, mental and emotional shortcomings of a cast that includes Carol Burnett as a faded leading lady, John Ritter as her jealous young lover, Christopher Reeve as the insecure hunk, Marilu Henner as the tongue-wagging second lead, Nicollette Sheridan as the dimwitted in ...
