This film is all over the place and has unnecessary plot tangents and weird story addons. There is a lot of cliches in the film and was supposed to be funny but really wasn't. I did enjoy the fact that it... Full review

I've always said DeNiro and Eastwood are living legends and the best actors ever. And 9 out of 10 of their movies are great ones, this was one of DeNiro's 10th one because it was a sorry one. I think the... Full review

I expected so much more from this line-up. Run away from this movie because it sucks 2 hours of your life away but makes it feel like 2 days...... Full review

This film was very boring and a perfect example of the current state of things in Hollywood. They think that just by bringing big stars in the movie will have to be a hit. The actors are not the problem. They... Full review

horrified by a hirsute Bruce Willis (playing himself) and flummoxed by Willis' agent Dick (John Turturro), who's scared to death of his own clients.....By contrast, Robin Wright Penn is beautifully centred.... ... Full Review

IT'S hard to make a good satire about Hollywood....Fiercely ends with some gangsters shooting Sean Penn in a grim industrial setting.....De Niro's performance is understated, without the volcanic emanations we are used to..... ... Full Review

Melbourne Herald Sun
The clever new showbiz satire What Just Happened takes this quote and circles it, underlines it....Directed in a blunt, matter-of-fact manner by Barry Levinson from a screenplay by Linson, What Just Happened does not get many laughs out of its farcical subject.....It is hardly a sensational performance, but it is completely fitting.....The results are overwhelmingly negative for this thriller starring Sean Penn....As What Just Happened quite rightly points out, making a hit movie is not a matter of art..... ...
