Door slamming farces have never fared well in my books. Yet I find this film to be the exception. Through an amazingly willing and talented cast, this simple premise is so well executed I found myself laughing out loud on many occasions. Though it's basically very silly and not believable in the least it's still so energetically played you can't help but be interested. Although, some trimming would have helped, I feel like it's about 10-15 minutes too long.
The cast is impeccable. Both Reeve and Ritter are fantastic, and it just makes you miss them that much more. Reeve especially is hilarious in his role, comedy obviously worked for him. Michael Caine is brilliant as the director of the play, never over the top, just always right on the mark.
If you like farces you'll love this movie. If you don't (like me) it's still very funny.
