Trivia
Extensive re-shoots on this film forced Kevin Kline to withdraw from Hook (1991). He was replaced by Robin Williams.

Goofs
When Celeste goes to Jeffrey's apartment to "rescue" Lori, she tricks the doorman into telling her that Jeffrey's apartment is 2D. When she leaves, his door clearly says 2A.

Quotes
Rose Schwartz: Actors don't like to play coma. They feel it limits their range.

Crazy credits
Early in the opening credits we see the words "a hamon cheimafflo film". The letters of the two middle words then rearrange themselves, one "o" slipping off the side of the screen, to form the name of director Michael Hoffman.

great soap opera comedy!!have fun with it!!

This movie is about a fictional soap opera. It is very fast and funny. To say anything else would ruin the movie. There are several plots and sub plots in the movie. This movie has ensemble cast with today's hottest stars. They all gives over the top performances. This movie is favorite of mine from the year 1991. Soapdish is perfect for fans of either daytime soap opera /or prime time soap opera!!!If you watch soap go check this movie it's hilarious!!!
