Encore! Encore! Audience Reviews

Supelice Dreadfully Boring
Glucedee It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.
Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Brenda The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
jojoclown241 Encore, Encore was a very funny show. The cast were brilliant, especially Nathan Lane and Joan Plowright who were perfect for their roles. The stories were all hysterical and they always made me laugh out loud.Its such a shame that great shows like this get cancelled before they are really allowed to shine, while lesser shows somehow manage to get picked up for more seasons.Can somebody please get the powers that be who own the rights to Encore,Encore to release this TV gem on DVD, and I don't just mean in the USA. I live in Great Britain and would love to own a region 2 copy if this show was ever allowed a DVD release. If not, then at least lets have it back for reruns on the TV.
Jennifer Gordon This was a great show which only lasted a few short episodes in the late 1990s. I have been trying to figure out if it was an act of Lane's-- namely getting a "better offer" in a Broadway show (his IMDb biography shows he did mostly children's films those years) or the fickle finger of network fate that did this show in. I keep wishing someone would release it on DVD-- especially with Nathan Lane's rising fame after coups like "The Producers" (and even Lion King), but it hasn't come out yet... great performances and typical sharp Lane humor. A rare gem in modern TV, it's a shame it is no longer available. This show is a particular delight for those who have been bitten by the acting bug... or anyone living with someone who has. Until it is released on DVD, look into another great show about the Nobel Profession: "Slings and Arrows," a great British show available from the BBC.
Op_Prime My opinion on this show is sort of divided. I saw just about every aired episode, but I didn't find it very memorable. In truth, I would not have watched at all if not for Nathan Lane. He was obviously the funniest and most talented one on this show. But even he could not save it.
barb-7 I just finished seeing the first show of the series. It wasn't that bad. I know that the show only lasted for a couple of weeks. I really enjoyed the stars. I didn't think that I had taped the show. The mom was great.
