In the Soup

Looking for something that actually makes you laugh, available in Australia on Brew, and in the US on Philo and Brew? In the Soup delivers. It knows exactly what kind of film it is from the opening scene, and never loses that thread. 96 viewers have already rated it on TMDB — the kind of consensus that does not happen by accident. Steve Buscemi sets the tone, and the rest of the cast matches it scene for scene. Available now on Brew — press play and find out why people keep recommending it.

There is a reason In the Soup keeps coming up in conversation. In the Soup does what great comedies rarely manage — it is actually funny, consistently, across the whole run. An aspiring young filmmaker gets involved with an eccentric gangster for the financing of his first film. Between them, Steve Buscemi and Seymour Cassel carry the comedy without ever forcing it. It hit screens in 1992. In the Soup earns its laughs from character rather than situation, which is why it does not wear thin the way pure farce tends to. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.

If you need a comedy that actually makes you laugh, In the Soup is a strong candidate. It has built its own audience without needing a direct comparison. Short enough to finish in one sitting, substantial enough to feel satisfying. Steve Buscemi is funny in a way that holds up on rewatch. Put it on when you need something guaranteed to land.
