Most of the major actors here do their best with not much to work with. The plot is nonsensical and way over the top. The dialogue seemed to be written by an amateur even though Peter Bogdanovich actually wrote it.... Full review

Peter Bogdanovich is obviously in love with all the women in his picture. He reveres them. But Hepburn is(naturally)put a notch above the others because, after all, she's the princess Bogdanovich probably fell in love with at the movies 30... Full review

"They All Laughed" is one of those little movies I am always recommending to friends seeking something out of the ordinary. It is firmly rooted in the screwball romance traditions of the past, but seems more contemporary. Even the decidedly... Full review

Who are these "They"- the actors? the filmmakers? Certainly couldn't be the audience- this is among the most air-puffed productions in existence. It's the kind of movie that looks like it was a lot of fun to shoot TOO much... Full review
