“Opening Night” (*1/2 out of four) was a tedious comedy about a Broadway production director (Topher Grace) trying to save the opening night of his new show while wrangling and multitasking the needs of his eccentric cast and crew (Taye Diggs, Anne Heche, and others). Promising beginning leads nowhere, as film soon becomes monotonous and stupid. Reasonably well directed but feeble script with few laughs stops film dead in its tracks. Grace is better than usual in the lead role but is unable to squeeze blood from a stone.
