I enjoyed this movie again last night when I was battling this stomach virus. What a fun, camp spoofy movie.
Why hasn't THIS been musicalized and brought to Broadway.
I love how Rose cheers up Celeste by taking her to a mall in Paramus so she can be deluged by fans.
Where are we going, and why am I in this handbasket?

Posted: 3/2/06 at 1:03pmIt is in the process of being musicalised. I read about it a year ago, I think one of the creative team of the Steel Magnolias revival might be doing it.
Nothing precious, plain to see, don't make a fuss over me. Not loud, not soft, but somewhere inbetween. Say sorry, just let it be the word you mean.

Posted: 3/2/06 at 1:06pmI don't even count this movie as a "guilty" pleasure...it's simply a pleasure!! Kevin Kline doing Death Of A Salesman at a dinner theater? PRICELESS.

Posted: 3/2/06 at 1:13pmI will proudly say "I love this movie!!!" There I said it.
"All I ask of you is one thing: please don't be cynical. I hate cynicism -- it's my least favorite quality and it doesn't lead anywhere. Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get. But if you work really hard and you're kind, amazing things will happen."

I think I have to watch it again.
It gets funnier with each viewing!

Who would you cast?
And, I totally love Kevin Kline in this--and the way Sally Field is sooo over the top is priceless. And Whoopi as the only voice of reason amidst the insanity.
And there's Teri Hatcher pre-Lois & Clark and DH.
Robert Downey Jr. and Gary Marshall...omigosh. Hysterical.
Carrie Fisher as the casting director.
Elizabeth Shue's evolution from a wannabe to a diva.
Kathy Najimy as the beleagured Wardrobe Mistress!
Just looking at the cast makes me wonder how they got so lucky to snare such a wonderful ensemble of talent.
Where are we going, and why am I in this handbasket?
