The superb Roderick Taylor masterwork "Instant Karma" with grace and subtly explores the vicissitude of fame and fortune in a metaphoric tale about Hollywood. It stars the gifted actress Chelsea Noble, wife of Kirk Cameron, and intelligent actor Craig Sheffer. Bruce Taylor and Dale Rosenbloom provided a restrained script around which Dale's father forms the gentle and amusing film.

This work exposes the drabness, mediocrity, and futility of output in much Hollywood production, but without bitterness or meanness. Location shooting in Hollywood itself gives the picture a sense of authenticity. Tom Jewet did the excellent cinematography and Frank Mazzola edited.

This is an unfortunately underrated and forgotten work.
