    Storyline

    • Trivia
      In one of the oddest twists in television history, this film received scathing reviews, prompting its creators and star Cybill Shepherd to publicly announce that their project was not meant to be viewed -- or reviewed -- as a serious biography of Martha Stewart, but as a scathing satire. The network reran the film within a few weeks, a very unusual practice for a TV movie, and it has since been embraced as a camp classic. However, it remains unclear whether its creators actually set out to make a comedy or were merely saving face in the wake of the film's deadly reception.
    • Goofs
      When Martha is confronted by Norma in the kitchen about the catering issue, there is a platter on the counter with a large fish. In the beginning of the scene, the fish is laid out on the platter covered in sliced cucumbers. In the following shot, there is what appears to be a zippered binder laying on top of the fish, then the next scene shows the fish in a mangled state with no binder laying on it.

    See this movie if your thinking of starting your own business.
    Cybill Shepherd plays in this very easy to watch movie which charts the rise and fall of Martha Stewart.

    Whilst I don't know Martha Stewart or what she represents to today's American Society, I do know that I enjoyed this movie and I often take time out from my busy schedule to watch it.

    Sure its not the best movie in the world, but I watch it because it's sometimes funny and sometimes realistic about the world of business. And I think its a good movie if you want to know what it takes to become an entreprenuer or start your own business.

    Sometimes it re-invigorates my own ideals and my own personal goals. So that's why I like this movie.

    Overall: 6/10.
