I was totally surprised at how great this film.You could feel your paranoia rise as the film went on and as you gradually learned the details of the real situation.

I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

When I first watched this I didn't really grab my attention, but then I couldn't stop thinking about it. Within three about I went from thinking is was so-so, to loving it. I guess I can understand why some people don't like it, as I didn't at first. I love the humor in it. I especially love the songs Steve Buscemi and Hope Davis sing. Along with those two songs the soundtrack to this movie is great. I say, give it a chance and watch it twice. It also stars the wonderful Lili Taylor, Elizabeth Bracco and Tony Shalhoub. One of my favorite parts was the dancing at the end to Skokiaan by Louis Armstrong. I just really liked it.

25 minutes into this film, I decided to look it up on IMDb. I was expecting a comedy, not a talent-less imitation of Stan & Laurel or french film. OK, 30 minutes, but still not smiling!This turned out to be the most awful film in the comedy genre, I have ever seen.Woody Allen appearing in this film should give me a clue, but apparently his appearance was "uncredited". It may have scared me off on beforehand, or at least lowered to my expectations for entertainment. Probably some of his wives are in the film too.At least now I know, that Stanley Tucci has no comic talent whatsoever. If he is ever on a cast for a supposed comedy, I will know to avoid it. Well, more than 40 minutes wasted on this film.

I thought that the movie was fantastic . It had a kinky sense of humor not adored by all , but i found it rather enjoyable.The Characters all have unique personalities that are very lovable.The plot is one that takes a great turn and keeps you wondering what on earth could possibly happen next.The little captions between scenes keep it cute , and the plot will have you glued to the screen, one moment of the story that is missed can leave you a bit confused for the rest of the movie. I saw this movie on the WB17 movie lineup and was surprised that such a great movie was on daytime T.V.Its one of those movies that is great throughout the entire movie , it keeps you laughing till the ending scene (even the credits are great!)

I don't know what I would have done if I'd never stumbled across this film. I must have been in the sixth grade when I was appearing in funny play. On the morning of the opening performance, I'd come down with a case of laryngitisso I stayed home that day hoping to recover some of my voice. Having a two minute walk between me and the local video store encouraged me to rent some great comedies for inspiration for that night's performance. The spine of the The Impostors VHS case jumped out at me (it must have been it's funny lettering) and I read the back. Interesting I thought and rented it. I was thoroughly entertained throughout the whole film and it became an instant favorite. However, this comment is not about the story of my life and passion, it's about this fantabulous film, so I'll shut up and discuss how great this movie is.I'd like to state that this is the definition of slapstick comedy. Stanley Tucci and Oliver Platt team up in this brilliantly funny film. They have so much chemistry on screen together. They need to collaborate more!First off, Stanley Tucci's writing and direction are genius. What a comedian in front of the camera, behind the camera, and in front of a computer writing a script like this one. Each character you start to love no matter who they are. The character development is also superb. After watching this incredibly intelligent and comic film, I now have a new respect for Tucci. I loved him in Big Trouble, but The Impostors is simply his best ever.Oliver Platt and Lili Taylor are also the shining jewels of this film. For the past couple of years it seems as if Oliver Platt has sort of disappeared from the silver screen and as much as I hate to admit this, I sort of forgot above my fondness of him. When I decided to take a trip down memory lane and rent Impostors my love for this talented comedian resurfaced. He's an amazing man. Such a clown. Such a hilarious cuddly bear. I've never been too familiar with Lili Taylor. I'd always find myself mixing her name up with another one of my favorite actors, Jennifer Tily. Now I feel that I can tell the difference. I've found a new respect for her. She's the cute, normal, down to earth girl who may not win the heart of the popular sex good, but the heart of an intellectual guy who cares about her and also will save the day. She's so amazing and clever, and I seem to be unable to articulate my new love. Ahh..the power of love.This comment could go on forever. I'd love to explain each character and why I've become to attached and fond of them. Not only are the characters brilliant but the actors who play them are more so. The Oscars should invent a nomination for the Casting Director because this films casting director (sorry I can't remember their name) cast every role correctly. In conclusion, I feel that this film will always remain an unearthed gem. It's so clever, comic, quircky, and entertaining. It is the king of slapstick comedy. Each time I watch this film (I now own the VHS and DVD) and I watch it twice. It will never get old for me. It's become a classic in my life and has a special place on my DVD/VHS shelf. I swear to everyone reading this comment that when I become a famous director, I'll remake this. Unfortunately, I'm afraid I'll never be able to top Tucci and everyone who worked on this project's genius.
