Title: Has anyone here seen a horrendous Whoopi Goldberg film called THE TELEPHONE? Post by: Tristan on August 10, 2009, 08:09:21 PM It's a real sick, horrible, stressful piece of crap that pretends to be some kind of weird comedy and then randomly turns into a grotesque psychological study. The main character talks to random people on her phone throughout the entire film, BUT there is a twist ending.

I don't know if the movie is available on DVD, I hope not. :buggedout: I have a Starlog book with an interview with her in which she says "The Telephone read brilliantly but it was cockadoo on the screen." :question: Title: Re: Has anyone here seen a horrendous Whoopi Goldberg film called THE TELEPHONE?

The main character talks to random people on her phone throughout the entire film, BUT there is a twist ending. To save me the trouble of finding and watching this apparent load of dung, can someone explain the twist? SPOILERS Basically, the whole film is a series of her calling people on her phone and talking to them or prank phone calling people and basically doing imitations and, what pretty much amounts to, stand-up comedy. Eventually there's a scene where her lights go out and she starts freaking out like a crazy lady and the telephone man shows up out of nowhere to confiscate her phone. It is basically revealed that her phone has been unplugged for a really long time and that, throughout the entire film, she was talking to nobody. So her character turns out to be completely insane and she then proceeds to kill the telephone man and then sits back down and keeps talking on her phone. THE END. END OF SPOILERS My mom saw it in theaters. I saw it on TV. It's a terrible film. Title: Re: Has anyone here seen a horrendous Whoopi Goldberg film called THE TELEPHONE?
