Basically, it feels as if you're sitting down with Rose Marie for 90 minutes while she talks about her life.

The heart and soul of the film belongs to Rose Marie, who is interviewed extensively for the film and has a seemingly endless supply of stories about all of her old pals and peers

B+

A portrait of an indefatigable entertainer emerges, restless when she wasn't working and fearless when she was.

Befitting its subject, the documentary "Wait for Your Laugh" is a breezy and engaging whirlwind trip through the crowded life of a performer who pretty much embodies the show-business term "trouper."

Wonderful documentary on a truly amazing talent Rose Marie, She narrates a good part of the film herself, in that unmistakable voice, beginning with her fame as a 4-year-old singer, and her multi-talents taking her into so many entertainment outlets, wanting to work till her passing in late 2017 at the age of 94. The movie has many surprises to offer and I found it all quite fascinating. The one minor criticism I have is that the director, Jason Wise, used some recreations of events in Rose Marie's life and that came across to me as rather gimmicky. But the actual film footage and still photos depicting her remarkable journey, interwoven with Rose Marie's and other interviewees comments, were extraordinary. All in all, a highly engaging and entertaining film.

Brilliant and enjoyable documentary about Rose Marie, a talented, funny and ambitious star for decades (age 4 to 94!). The director, Jason Wise, rolls out history of Hollywood and Television in the film through the eyes and stories of Rose Marie. Great movie to bring your daughter to as a study of determination and perseverance of a role model who overcomes great odds.
