    Storyline

    Edit
    Video store employee Jeremiah Brennan is the world's biggest Sam Raimi fan. He's also hopelessly in love with his co-worker Tracy, who hardly notices him. So when Jeremiah hears that Raimi is auditioning actors to play the role of 'Gus' in FOR LOVE OF THE GAME 2, he spontaneously makes the trip from South Carolina to Hollywood, thinking that if he wins the part, he'll win Tracy's heart... but little does he know of the mishaps and heartbreak that Tinseltown has in store for him. An 'Alice' in a very hostile 'Wonderland,' Jeremiah encounters a number of idiosyncratic showbiz characters who derail his plan again and again. Yet, just when Jeremiah is at his lowest and ready to throw in the towel, he manages to meet his idol Sam Raimi and land the role of his life... —Anonymous

    Cute short movie
    This was a cute short movie about a young man who ventures to Hollywood to pursue a part in a movie and the adventures he has along the way. It was cute, funny, a little corny, but in a good way. A light, enjoyable watch. I liked it!

    Parents guide: pretty non-offensive. Kissing scenes, but no sex. Mild language. No drug use.
