	Author	Review
United States	Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"It's the funniest movie since 'The Freshman' (...) If it doesn't work, it fails spectacularly, but it does work, and it succeeds in making its plot clear (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"The satire loses its edge as the filmmakers wrongheadedly try to humanize this nest of vipers. 'Soapdish' is more fun when it’s spitting venom than when it’s licking wounds."	NEU
United States	Janet Maslin The New York Times	"Mr. Kline, as in 'I Love You to Death' and 'A Fish Called Wanda,' proves himself to be an utter delight"	POS
United States	Kenneth Turan Los Angeles Times	"A spirited and amusing comedy (...) 'Soapdish' may only be an inch deep, but my what an inch it is."	POS
United States	Variety	"Field works hard and shows an expert sense of comic timing (...) Kline is utterly marvelous"	POS
