The Impostors

DIRECTED BY: Stanley Tucci

REVIEWED: 10-12-98

Stanley Tucci wrote and directed this delightful light comedy, set aboard a sumptuous 1930s luxury boat. Tucci and Oliver Platt play Arthur and Maurice, an inseparable skinny/fat pair of actors who're nothing if not dedicated to their craft and each other. Though not very successful on stage, the two hold the philosophy that anytime is a good time to act--in a pastry shop, a sidewalk café, you name it. Such shenanigans of course get them into trouble, and before you know it they've inadvertently stowed away on a boat. Such ridiculous comic tropes actually work, because the script is smart; and the ensemble cast, including Isabella Rossellini, Steve Buscemi, and Lili Taylor, seems to be having a ball.
