Critic Reviews for Laughter in Paradise
All Critics (2) | Fresh (0) | Rotten (2)
As a whole, although the script contains some genuinely amusing ideas, neither script writers nor director have achieved the pace, invention and style of high comedy.
It should have been a riot, but the zany Brit comedy is fumbled by the heavy-handed direction.
Audience Reviews for Laughter in Paradise
A quirky and charming British comedy that plays out like four stories woven into one (which pretty much hits the nail on the head). Unfortunately, woven is a bit of an overstatement because the film - despite the potential - does not screwball the stories into each other as much as it could have done. WIth a better scripwriter and finesse, this could have been a classic. This way, it feels like a below-par sitcom with easy laughts and no substance.
