1991 farce starring Sylvester Stallone, Peter Riegert, Tim Curry, Marisa Tomei, Chazz PalPalminteri, Harry Shearer.

John Landis directed this farce buoyed by stellar cast.

You may not be inclined to check out a comedy starring Stallone but everyone shines in this one.

30's gangster Spats Provolone promises his father ( a cameo by Kirk Douglas) to go straight but complications arise. Mistaken identities, misplaced suitcases, all add to the mix.

Look for Tim Curry giving Stallone elocution lessons, Tomei adorable as spoiled daughter, Riegert doing his best Bugs Bunny, Palminteri as a dim-witted henchman, Harry Shearer as one of the Fannuci Brothers tailors ( "Is not a suit...is a Fannuci")

Definitely worth a look for the great job this cast does with wacked out characters and situations

Noises Off

1992 farce directed by Peter Bogdanovich starring Michael Caine, John Ritter, Carol Burnett, Christopher Reeve, Nicolette Sheridan, Marilu Henner.

Hysterical farce about a theatre director trying to whip his cast and show into shape before its opening. We see it from the audience's point of view as well as from backstage.

Great cast makes the most of it...with many laughs along the way.

Who would have thought a comedy with Sylvester Stallone would be funny?

Broad farce 1991 Jon Landis comedy stars Stallone, Marisa Tomei, Peter Riegert, Tim Curry, Chazz Palminteri.

30s gangster Snaps Provolone (Stallone) promises his dying father he will give up his life of crime and go straight. It doesn't work out so well. Mistaken identities, crooked bankers, a crafty future son-in-law, and more complications all conspire to keep Da Boss in Da Biz. Much to our delight.

Very funny, surprisingly so. Hey, is Peter Riegert doing a Bugs Bunny impersonation?

Great cast (Tomei, Curry et al) make this fun. Enjoy.
