 | "Do you love this house? Do you love this house?"
Yeah, I really did. Dan Mirvish has wonderfully created a light, hysterical and crazy story about achieving the American Dream: buying your first house.
This movie's awesome. I loved it. Just off-kilter enough to be funny and heartfelt without being diabetes inducing. I absolutely loved it!
My favorite part was Anthony Rapp's song "My House" towards the end. Everything that he says in that song was exactly how I felt when me and my family moved out of our house. I lived in my house for like ten years and that's exactly how I felt when we had to leave. And you have to know I was so pissed at the people who bought it from us when I saw that they'd let the lawn die!
I think this is why Open House works, because everyone can relate to this.
Great job. I really loved it. Hysterical, great performances, great screenplay and awesome camera work!

| Fantastic! "Open House" is a wonderfully witty, fast paced and well written musical comedy. The whole cast was spectacular with Kellie Martin and Sally Kellerman's performances shining through. The catchy songs are perfectly placed within the hilarious plot. Watch out world, the musical has returned! |

| "Do you love this House? Do you love this House? Do you really, really love this house?" Thats lyrics from just one of the memorable songs from this fun and inventive musical! I loved the cast: Anthony Rapp from RENT and DAZED AND CONFUSED! Kellie Martin from LIFE GOES ON and ER! The still sexy Sally Kellerman! Tired of the same old movies at the theaters? Buy OPEN HOUSE for a breath of fresh air! |

| Having seen an advance screening at the Egyptian theater in Hollywood, I was thrilled to see the return of Dan Mirvish' directorial prowess. Not since his 1994 film " Omaha the Movie", have I been as impressed with a directing style. From the broad dance numbers to the very funny song lyrics, Dan's dry wit and humor is abundant in this film. I was told that the actors sang live on set and that very little was done in editing. How bold a concept to let the actor's true talents show throughout the project. I just hope I dont have to wait another 10 years for the next Dan Mirvish film. |

| This movie was an absolute joy to watch! It constantly surprised me - first with the musical numbers, which are like none others I'd seen in a movie - and then with the heart of the characters (Anthony Rapp was amazing!),and the depth of the story (don't reveal the ending!). Somehow this movie slipped through the cracks on its big screen release (I saw it in Santa Fe), but now's our chance to get the DVD. I can't wait to share this with everyone I know. Oh, and Sally Kellerman was fantabulous! |
