The Steamie
The Steamie
Tony Roper wrote 'The Steamie' for Glasgow's Mayfest in 1987. Return to Hogmany 1957 when a fiesty group of Glasgow women; Mrs Culfeathers, Dolly, Doreen and the irrepressible Magrit, all meet at The Steamie to do the traditional family wash before the New Year. The Steamie is a hilarious cameo of Glasgow's social history where the washing was always easier to do when the Women shared their laugher and sorrow and a scandalous supply of gossip. This is the definitive version of the most popular play of the last 20 years with the all star cast of Dorothy Paul as Magrit, Eileen McCallum as Dolly, Kate Murphy as Doreen, Sheila McDonald as Mrs Culfeathers and a very young Peter Mullan as Andy, the whisky loving handy man.

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.

This movie is not perfect-- There are some timing problems and a few jokes fall flat, but it is a good madcap romp with lots of great actors having a good time. This is a good movie to watch on a day when you need cheering up and your brain is not being too demanding.The music is also terrific and there is a great dance number with the whole cast and crew as the closing credits roll.Tucci and Platt are really good in their roles, but the supporting cast makes it work. Billy Connolly does a good turn as a over-sexed boxer who gets his eye on one of the boys. Lilli Taylor is charming as usual and Campbell Scott does one of the more unusual parts I have seen him in.It looks like the actors all got on board this one just for fun and they all appeared to have fun overacting and playing the slapstick to the hilt.

I laughed so hard my stomach hurt. This movie is delightful! It's zany and one must have a sophisticated sense of humor to enjoy the slapstick/laurel/hardy type of humor. It's wonderful. Recommend highly. Stanley Tucci did a magnificent job of directing. Surprise appearance by Woody Allen was much appreciated. Music reminds me of Woody Allen's movies. Quick moving, and it's literally a laugh a minute. This movie is appropriate for adults and not children. The plot is intriguing and has many surprise turns. Oliver Platt was delightful as a buffoon and Stanley Tucci's character was delightful. If you're in the mood to laugh or cry, this movie is the one to see.

The first time I saw this movie I fell in love with it. Tucci's use of classic comedy techniques (title screens and slapstick) along with impressive set and costume design give this oddball movie a unique flavor that will make you want to watch this cute flick again and again. Platt and Tucci head up this amazing cast but the movie wouldn't be half as good as it is without a brilliant supporting cast, filled with albeit one-dimensional characters which are a lot of fun despite their lack of depth. If you like Charlie Chaplin, the Marx Brothers, or Laurel and Hardy, you'll appreciate this modern day homage to old-school comedy. It's hard to find in video stores; I saw it once on the IFC and then had to find it on NetFlix, but if you have a chance to see it, you won't regret it.
