But it's Kline's show, and he runs with it. Many Barbra Streisand remarks are funny enough that even Streisand should laugh. Kline's dancing deserves an Oscar, just for that, which compares to Travolta's of Saturday Night Fever . And hopefully Rudnick will get noticed more with his bright and funny screenplay. A classic ensemble piece which seems like it came from the early 80s, and changed the morals and story.
Physical humor is hard to get, but physical humor and spoken humor is nearly impossible.
This is one of the year's best films.
