The Impostors

After Big Night, director/writer Stanley Tucci brings us The Impostors -- a funny trip aboard a ship of wacky situations with a crew of big-name stars. Tucci and Oliver Platt as struggling 1930s actors are obviously enjoying themselves, and overall the cast make things funny that haven't been laugh-worthy since Jerry Lewis and pie-throwing contests. A slew of plots explode once the cruise ship sets sail, withTony Shalhoub as a terrorist first mate, Isabella Rossellini as a deposed queen, and Campbell Scott as a hilarious German ship official, complete with Colonel Klink act and a crush on ship staffer Lili Taylor. Full of jabs at both the acting profession and corny, old-school movie plots, The Impostors takes lines like "Don't kid a kidder, kid . . . " and "They want them . . . really, really dead" to a funny new level. At the Jane Pickens.
