Reseña destacada
The very definition of vanity project
What can you say about a film where a bunch of women that were hired due to their breasts get together to complain about having to work in an industry where women are hired due to their breasts? It's not even a film, really, since Rosanna Arquette herself has declared it is an "experience", and she didn't direct it, she "experienced" it.
Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed several of the interviews. These are professionally charming people, so how could we not be charmed? But it chafes a bit to see these millionaires kvetch about their jobs like they're mill workers or gut fish for a living.
A question supposedly being asked here is "can you pursue a career in acting and still be a good mother?". This is misleading, for two reasons. Thousands of excellent mothers pursue careers in acting, but none of these women are interviewed. All of the interviewees are current or past stars and leading ladies, so a more accurate phrasing would be "can you be a movie star and still be a good mother?". But, this question actually means "can you be a career narcissist and still be a good mother?". The answer to that question is more a testament to the resilience of children than of any "sacrifice" made. If children born addicted to crack can grow to be well-adjusted adults, surely a child raised by a nanny while mom was away being famous has a chance.
The other questions asked, "Where are the good roles for middle-aged actors?", "How can men in their 60s still be leads, when any woman over 35 is automatically relegated to character parts?", "How exactly does Rosanna Arquette feel about her little sister being far more successful, and taken more seriously than she ever was?", are more interesting, but are only asked here and never really answered.
Every once in awhile, particularly in the interviews with Debra Winger, you get a glimpse that they know what a silly, self-centered exercize this really is. I guess the answer to whether it is a good documentary or not depends on whether you feel these glimpses were noticed by Arquette and left in as ironic counterpoint, or that Arquette was so impressed with the fact that these people even remembered her that she used all the good footage she could scrounge.
