Cinematic genius

My good friend Patrick just wrote a review of my all-time favorite movie, Noises Off!, to which I immediately introduced him upon learning he had never before seen it.

"To describe too much of this movie would absolutely ruin it. If you like comedy that is based on dialogue as well with as a hint of physical comedy, this movie is for you. All the actors in this are great, but what really shines is the script. I swear, the person who thought of this was high or tripping on acid or both. It had to be amazingly complicated to write this but an absolute joy to see it turn out. The best part about the movie is that even though you are seeing the same play pretty much three times, each time is absolutely hilarious. I would also suggest multiple viewings of this film because each time you watch it you catch something you missed the first time. The movie is fast paced and you can find yourself laughing at three comedic elements at the same time during certain parts. This is one of the smartest comedies I have had the pleasure to see. Just don't forget the sardines."

You can read the entire thing, along with reviews of many other movies, on the Film Geeks website.
