I sat through this. An Englishman, Hugh Grant, trying to play another Englishman, Simon Cowell,(and doing that quite well), but why waste such talents in a vacuous story that first graders would have written, if they had nothing better to do? I guess it's the same old story, someone must have thought, we can make some money by cashing in on the moment. George W and his idea of reality, these TV "talent" shows, the Iraq war, some stereotypical terrorists and weave them loosely together to make a film. So we are subjected to a hard bitten greedy bimbo, a decent, patriotic soldier boy, not very bright terrorists, a cynical showbiz agent, and an even more cynical impresario and a President who had all the grip of a wet lettuce, all mixed together in a fairly predictable storyline. With the storyline so lifeless, and the weave so loose, I have to admit, I fell asleep.
You may enjoy it, who can tell, but for me and mine, time not well spent.
