Category: Comedy
Reviewed By: Clay
Plot:
A major motion picture comes to a New England town to begin filming. Within days they take over the town, and zany but predictable things begin to happen.DVD Special Features
: Color, Closed-captioned, Widescreen, Dolby, Feature-length Commentary, DVD-Rom Content includes, Original Theatrical website, Script-to-screen screenplayDo you really want to hear David Mamet attempt to justify this flick?
The Good:
This movie has a great cast and every once in a while you see them try to make this movie work. Rebecca Pidgion has a great screen presence, and I hope to see more of her in the future.The Bad:
The writer and director should be punished for wasting all the talent in this movie. Perhaps the horrible box office on this movie were punishment enough, but I don’t think so.Every character in this movie is a cardboard cutout. None of the dialogue is interesting, and you see the ending coming a mile away. I am all for making fun of Hollywood, but at least make it funny.
Bottom Line:
So unfunny I thought Woody Allen wrote it.Rating:
