Review of Soapdish (1991) by Jheri J — 02 Sep 2012
Viewed on 12/7/04 (Mon).
"It is a soap opera about a soap opera within a soap opera," one of the actors said in the featurette. (I think it wants to be a satire) Now isn't it about time to make fun of those ever so corny daytime TV serial like Days of Our Lives? I think they are more like the mildest kind of soft-porn. This satire will work out well if it is more wicked and smarter. I hope there is a remake by a more capable director like Woody Allen and maybe star Bette Midler. Now Bette Midler in a Woody Allen movie. Can someone propose that?
BTW the cast consists of 3 Oscar winners and 2 Oscar nominees. Still they can't save the show. Now that is soap opera.
Rating: C.
