      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      The Impostors might have benefited from a more consistently witty script, but writer-director Stanley Tucci acquits himself nicely as an orchestrator of screwball comedy in this uneven debut.

      Lisa Schwarzbaum Entertainment Weekly Rated: C Sep 7, 2011 Full Review Globe and Mail Rated: 2.5/4 Apr 12, 2002 Full Review Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times There was nothing I actively disliked about the film. But my affection was more polite than impassioned. Rated: 2/4 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Grant Watson Fiction Machine There are plenty of great comedies out there, but few come equipped with quite so effervescent a sense of fun.

      John F One of our favorites. Tucci and Platt are wonderful. Great cast, lots of funny edits and is one of those (dare I say) zany comedies that make you laugh every time. Seeing with friends is lots of fun. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 12/17/23 Full Review Steve D Good cast a complete mess everywhere else. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member A great combination of stupid and intelligent humor abounds throughout this farce! This is a film I recommend to anyone, especially those who has ever acted on stage. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member A little too wacky and dramatically over the top for me . None less not bad 2.7 Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 06/22/20 Full Review Audience Member Great ensemble cast with a simple, fun plot and subtle (and not to subtle) comedy. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member I really love this movie. the chemistry between the characters is just superb.
