    Funny behind the scenes bits on a Soap. You get what you pay for.

    Soapdish is one of my guilt pleasures...such a funny movie with such good actors such as: Sally Field, Whoopie Goldberg, Elizabeth Shue, Robert Downey Jr, Cathy Moriarty, Kevin Kline, and Teri Hatcher.

    This movie directed by Michael Hoffman shows you what happens behind close...( read more)d doors on a soap opera....apparently another drama ensues...too funny!

    It is not that good for repeat viewings, but the first time it was great. Obviously the twists are ruined once you have seen it.

    Great cast, funny parts.
  • May 12, 2007
    Mildly amusing spoof of daytime soap operas with an amiable cast. But the laughable soap opera scenes are far funnier than the behind the scenes antics, and the similar Tootsie is better.

    This was retarded..."

    Betsy Faye Sharon: Very, very good, Mark. And very true. I love what you're doing. I just, I think if we could try it one more time, and this time... I don't know... maybe try one without your shirt.

    This is a really fun movie, well if you think soaps are crap. :) The cast is wonderful but it kinda needed something to get it over the hump

    It is cheesey and campy, (based on the set of a daytime soap) if that tells you anything. It helps that Robert Downey Jr. is easy to look at, and other great cast members too!
