Classic madcap comedy crammed full of iconic lines and very clever dialogue. Probably a good one for fans of British comedy because the dialogue is smart and the characters are very specific, like in British films. As others have noted, the pace becomes more and more frantic as the film nears the end. So inventive to adapt the board game into such a high concept film. All the cast are at the height of their powers. Featuring great performances from Martin Mull, Madeline Kahn, Tim Curry, Michael McKean, Christopher Lloyd etc. A good movie to watch for not so scary Halloween or any time throughout the year.

This show features a lot of talented cast members who have started to show up In other projects since, from the new Elvis movie to Mare of Easttown. You'll likely watch and be intrigued to follow the careers of the stars , as the casting was excellent . Several are actually Australian. The show has a simple premise in many ways and it's perhaps best to not focus so too hard on the "how did they get there?" Question and focus instead on the ripple effects. Has quite a bit of interesting interpersonal drama and ethical questions without getting too dark. Makes for a good binge watching show. Too bad there's no season 2, probably because of Covid.

This movie manages to pack in an array of people you will have seen in subsequent projects, from John slattery to ginnifer Goodwin. The film has a vibe similar at times to dead poets society, but don't worry, no one dies. Is something of a chick flick with unsuccessful aspirations of being an Oscar caliber film. Features a lot of nice costumes, music , and cinematography that evoke that 50s vibe. Doesn't entirely succeed at being a serious feminist movie but is a nice journey with characters that feel like real friends . Ginnifer Goodwin and Maggie gyllenhaal especially stand out as they were relative unknowns at the time . Julia Roberts character is ultimately a lot less interesting than the students.
