Featured review
A producer's nightmare
Ben (Robert De Niro) is a top Hollywood producer during a down-period in his career and personal life. He is in separation with his second wife, who in turn is having sex with his good friend. Businesswise he latest movie is a possible turd (artistic, but too depressing) and the studio is forcing him to cut the dramatic negative ending. Additionally his new movie has hit an unexpected rock, when Bruce Willis shows up with a beard fit for a king. And he does not want to shave it off...
This self-flagellation of a movie is a producer's nightmare. Its the theme of the movie as well as the movie itself. It's essentially not funny as a comedy, uninteresting as a drama about Hollywood and swaggers slowly to its conclusion. If this is anything to go by - Hollywood may be devoid of morality, but it is also an extremely boring place.
A sub-par movie from Barry Levinson, which lacks any heart. A movie only for Hollywood producers, who could possibly relate to the story. Well.. that's not a movie that has a big target audience...
