Storyline

Director Alan Smithee comes to Hollywood to make a movie. Due to a variety of factors, he decides to disown it and direct it under a pseudonym. Unfortunately, the Director's Guild requires that if a director disowns a movie in this fashion, he *must* use the official Director's Guild pseudonym...which happens to be Alan Smithee.

Very funny poke at Hollywood
29 July 2002 | by (Indianapolis, Indiana) – See all my reviews

I can't believe the negative quotes for this movie. Sure, it isn't the fastest paced movie in the world, but for sheer parody of Hollywood it works quite well. Especially the Whoopie, Stallone and Jackie Chan parts.
