Watch The Impostors For Free

One of the best films i have seen

just watch it!

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

Pure, tongue-in-cheek, humor from start to finish.A near perfect film. Stanley Tucci and Oliver Platt make a great duo in this comedy about two starving actors.Desperate for food, they decide to con a pastry chef out of some of his pastry. As previously planned, Platt comes to the pastry chef's "rescue", but instead of getting pastry, he gets two tickets to see hack stage actor, Jeremy Burtom excellently played by Alfred Molina.Through a series of incidents, Burtom threatens the boys with imprisonment if he catches them, The two end up accidentally stowing away on a cruise ship and that's when everything gets complicated.An excellent cast was assembled for this superbly funny script. Watch for Campbell Scott, son of George C. Scott. His portrayal of a Nazi-like ship steward is hilarious.My hat goes off to Stanley Tucci for doing an excellent job writing and directing this film! I only hope more people can see this jewel.

Four out of 10 is a generous rating for this disappointing lightweight comedy. At the beginning there are some promising scenes but 20 minutes in hopes turn to fears. The other three stars are for having Isabella Rosselini in it. Watching this movie is like watching your smarmy 12-year-old nephew do his own stand up: there is a lot of frantic effort and you know it's supposed to be funny, but you watch in embarrassment and horror for the performer and whoever's bright idea this was. Sadly, any comparison with well-done screwball comedies, Marx brothers, and Laurel/Hardy just highlights how Tucci's movie is lacking. More sadly, it might have been funny had there been comedic timing, better writing, and fewer moments that your 12-year-old nephew would think are absolutely hah-larious. A good cast couldn't save this movie for me. A character in an actually funny movie asked about a performance, "Is this rotten or wonderfully brave?" For The Imposters and Tucci, it's both.

25 minutes into this film, I decided to look it up on IMDb. I was expecting a comedy, not a talent-less imitation of Stan & Laurel or french film. OK, 30 minutes, but still not smiling!This turned out to be the most awful film in the comedy genre, I have ever seen.Woody Allen appearing in this film should give me a clue, but apparently his appearance was "uncredited". It may have scared me off on beforehand, or at least lowered to my expectations for entertainment. Probably some of his wives are in the film too.At least now I know, that Stanley Tucci has no comic talent whatsoever. If he is ever on a cast for a supposed comedy, I will know to avoid it. Well, more than 40 minutes wasted on this film.

The first 30 minutes of this movie are UNBELIEVABLE, but once the plot leads us onto the boat, it becomes a Luke-warm French farce. The idea of following the struggling actors and their eccentric self-training methods is hilarious. Their war with Alfred Molina's pompous star is equally exciting. Its unfortunate that Mr. Tucci felt that he had to make his film "more marketable" and bring in a recycled classic comedic device. For instance, why undercut your really witty idea with a series of lame sex jokes (Campbell Scott's character) and horribly dated homosexual jokes (Billy Connelly's blah turn) when you were on the way to writing something fresh and new? On a side note: When is Oliver Platt going to get the respect he deserves?
