Storyline

When once-up-and-coming indie film starlet Halley Feiffer loses her boyfriend, her agent and her career in one fell swoop she finally realizes that something in her life has got to change... she has to become WAY MORE FAMOUS! Armed with a stolen script and two pitchers of sangria, Halley enlists the help of her brother Ryan and his boyfriend to make her own movie, starring herself (of course) as herself, and any A-list celebrity she can land along the way. From seducing the Karate Kid to kidnapping Hollywood's biggest name in comedy, Halley will stop at nothing to get her movie made even it means hurting the only people who truly care about her.

User Reviews

Not for Everyone, But Perfect for Some (and Me)

I cannot abide there being only one review (and a scathing one at that!) available.

Everything the last reviewer hated, I loved. I found the movie's sensibility to be fun and over-the-top, campy and playful. The main character is, of course, totally awful, but she's living in a world of insanity and that's sort of the point.

She's insufferable past the point of realism (I hope!) and if you just grab some popcorn and sit back, you will witness a very colorful and original type of train wreck.

I would recommend this to people who like extreme characters, appreciate movies about "the industry," and are bored with movies who play it safe with their characters' likability. This is way more risky and fun!
