Three stars

The Imposters

(Fox)

After Big Night, director/writer Stanley Tucci brings us this funny trip aboard a cruise ship with a crew of big-name stars, including Tony Shalhoub as a terrorist first mate, Isabella Rossellini as a deposed queen, and Campbell Scott as a hilarious German ship official, complete with Colonel Klink act and a crush on ship staffer Lili Taylor. Tucci and Oliver Platt as struggling 1930s actors are obviously enjoying themselves, and overall the cast make things funny that haven't been laugh-worthy since Jerry Lewis and pie-throwing contests.
