Eva Longoria has revealed her honest opinion on Kim Kardashian's comedy skills after directing their upcoming film The Fifth Wheel.
The 51-year-old actress-turned-filmmaker gushed that 45-year-old Kardashian's performance was 'so funny.'
She told People: 'I cannot wait for the world to see how great she is in this movie and hopefully spark more female comedies.'
From screenwriters Janine Brito and Paula Pell, the comedy follows 'a group of best friends from high school who attempt to reconnect during a weekend jaunt to Vegas.'
The official synopsis reads: 'When a hot outsider (Kardashian) crashes the weekend, they're forced to face their messy lives, bad decisions and unraveling friendships.'
Longoria added, 'It's so much fun. We just wrapped after three months of filming. We ended in Vegas. It was a dream job.'

The movie also stars comedians Will Ferrell, Jack Whitehall, Casey Wilson, Nikki Glaser and Brenda Song.
Kardashian, Ferrell and Longoria all have producer credits on the film.
Elsewhere in the People interview, Longoria said about the project, 'First of all, it's a big, unapologetically R-rated female comedy that feels modern and contemporary.'
The Desperate Housewives star added: 'Kim is the anchor of the movie. We just had a blast. Kim and I have been friends for 25 years, and when I got the job, she said, "Oh, thank God Eva knows I'm funny."'
The Fifth Wheel marks Kardashian's first-ever leading role in a feature film.
It comes nearly two decades after she made her acting debut in the 2008 spoof Disaster Movie.
She went on to appear in Ocean's Eight (2018) and Tyler Perry's 2013 film Temptation: Confessions Of A Marriage Counselor.
Kardashian has also lent her voice to the character Delores in two animated PAW Patrol movies.
In addition to Kardashian, the movie also stars comedians Nikki Glaser, Brenda Song and Fortune Feimster

Insiders previously told Deadline they expect Kardashian to 'be very hands-on' with The Fifth Wheel's marketing, as she has demonstrated a knack for branding throughout her wide-ranging career.
The bombshell billionaire most recently starred in Ryan Murphy's legal drama series All's Fair on Hulu alongside Naomi Watts, Glenn Close, Sarah Paulson and Niecy Nash.
The show was renewed for a second season after being viewed more than 3.2 million times.
It premiered on November 4, 2025, and satisfied viewers described it as 'glamorous and silly escapism.'
