I love Joe Pesci! He was his typical funny, out spoken character he usually plays in his movies! He just keeps you laughing through out. The plot is kind of lame but who cares it was FUNNY!... Full review

But "Jimmy Hollywood" is ridiculously self-indulgent and, in places, downright annoying.....In better days, Levinson gave us such first-rate film fare as "Rain Man," "Avalon," "Good Morning, Vietnam" and "Diner.....MST After "Toys," writer-director Barry Levinson continues his decline with "Jimmy Hollywood," a woefully unfunny, insider Hollywood yarn that allows Joe Pesci to yammer obnoxiously for two hours.....Jimmy Hollywood" is rated R for violence and considerable profanity.....failed actor, actually na ...

The plot seemed simple: Jimmy Alto, played by a newly blond Joe Pesci, is an actor from New Jersey who's determined to make Hollywood beg for his talent.
