If you are in the feature film industry, what makes this picture so funny is the close parody... some of the characters appear to be modeled on real people. It would not be too far a stretch of the imagination... Read more

All in all, it was an interesting mockumentary that got tiresome when Coolio showed up. Not that coolio was bad, but it just dragged along. Probably more accurate about the Hollywood mindset then people in LA are willing to admit.The... Read more

This film is actually a rather intelligent, if cynical, satire of the shallow and idiotic nature of Hollywood. More cameos than you can shake a stick at. Ryan O'Neal is great as an amoral producer. Eric Idle is even better... Read more

I disagree with the people here saying this is one of the worst films ever made. I'm somewhat of a connosieur of bad films, and that just isn't the case. It's competently put together from front to back, but the... Read more

I thought that this film was utterly hilarious. What a concept! Watching it late at night on Starz!, I woke my entire family up laughing. The actors are great, the documentary style footage is wonderful, but when it flashed "Linguist"... Read more
