Making fun of show business
26 May 2010 | by david-4695 – See all my reviews

I really enjoyed seeing this film. Maybe because I know how insane and whimsical the entertainment business can be, but even if you know nothing about Broadway and movie making you can still have plenty of good laughs. I saw the film with a Los Angeles audience that laughed and howled so much that I think I missed some key lines of dialogue. I'll have to get this one on DVD or go see it again to find out what I missed.

Plus Tambor is just right in the lead role and has great timing and pacing.

If you need a movie were things blow up, don't bother, but if you want to have fun and be transported into a world of creative people fighting for their hopes and dreams, then go see this movie.
