Plot Summary
Sally Field leads an all-star cast in this sidesplittingly funny look at a scandal-ridden TV soap opera. Kevin Kline, Robert Downey, Jr., Whoopi Goldberg, Cathy Moriarty and Elisabeth Shue star as the zany cast and crew of The Sun Also Sets, America's hottest "soap," where on-screen drama and off-screen craziness combine for outrageous hilarity! There's enough dirty laundry to keep everyone in hot water in this unadulterated comedy hit that's "99 and 44/100 percent fun!" - Joel Siegel, Good Morning America.

Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: Uneven but often sidesplitting.
Rotten: It's a kick to see Field sending up her sweetheart image.
Fresh: Soapdish aims at a satiric target as big as a Macy's float and intermittently hits it.
Fresh: Soapdish is pure joy, a lemon-fresh spoof of daytime drama that does the dishing and may even soften your hands.
Customer Reviews
A Comedy Classic
This is one of my favorite comedies of all time. You don't have to like Soap Operas, just great acting and some of the best comedy dialogue EVER! Enjoy.
Great Spoof!
As a child, I thought this movie was just the greatest thing ever. I still like it as an adult although you can see the watered down humor in it now. Still comical, and entertaining though.
Sally, Whoopi, Kevin, and Gary at their Greatest!
This movie is amazing! I've seen it about four or five times on HBO and I found it on here. I was so excited! Kevin has some of the best lines in comedy, such as, "It is a brain operation.You will not have a BRAIN when it is complete!" HYSTERICAL!!! The movie for the closet soap opera lover in all of us!
