The Impostors Reviews

I'm so dismayed that nobody has ever seen this movie. It's pretty much the quintessential farce. Outrageous physical comedy, incredibly stupid dialogue (intended to be stupid, that is), and totally ridiculous characters. I don't know about most people, but to me,... Read more

This is a top-notch comedy at the most audacious level. I once heard someone say that door-slamming farcical comedy never works on film; and I think this is one of the movies that proves them wrong. It reminded me of the... Read more
