Never knew Jeffrey Tambor was THAT good an actor. But the supporting actors are just perfectly cast, so there's not a single wrong note anywhere in the film. Tambor really shines in this movie. It's like a British farce, but slowed down for American audiences, it seems to me. I can just imagine what this would have been like if Howard Hawks had directed it. ("His Girl Friday" anybody?). It's got that kind of witty dialog you might remember from Woody Allen's "Bullets Over Broadway," but they didn't have Woody's budget (especially for music, though the music in this movie is perfectly good).
This is all done in a cozy Broadway restaurant in real time, so it has elements of a play to it. All Broadway types are represented in a clever way. The sassy Broadway agent (what was her name, Nina Diamond?), the ex-girlfriend actress, the coat check girl with high hopes, the Hollywood producer that Broadway types love to hate, the prima donna aging British actor, the dumb blonde girlfriend, the aspiring wannabes, the phony Broadway investors and then Spencer himself, the struggling actor who walks into the restaurant as a nobody and walks out as a star.
"Meeting Spencer" is a great send-up of Broadway types and has a timeless quality that will make it watchable for years to come. Anybody thought of a sequel? As soon as they get to the theatre (with that cow!), I was wondering what would happen AFTER all this.
