I recommend Noises Off. I’m not sure why I thought about it this morning, but I did and it made my day. I’ve seen it three times over the course of my life and laugh harder each time. The last time I had to stop watching it for about 10 minutes because my diaphragm was cramping and I was worried about it starting to spasm so much I wouldn’t be able to breathe. After the movie was over I looked on wikipedia to see whether it was possible to die from laughter, and to my horror/bemusement, it is! I am being completely serious here…next time I watch this movie I will be fearing for my life.
Many of my friends agree, which is why it is surprising that it got panned for not being as good as the play. If the play truly is that much funnier, there is no way I’m going to see it…at least not until I’m ready to pass from this good earth.
