Newsflash: Hollywood execs act like juvenile brats
by John (movies profile)
May 6, 2009
This is not a funny movie. It clearly is trying to be funny, but I never laughed. I cracked a smile at one point that seemed absurd, but that doesn't make it funny. I wonder who might find this funny. I can only imagine that some Hollywood insider might think it's funny if they assume that this movie is some sort of expose of how ridiculous those who are in the industry behave. But this is hardly new news, and there are plenty of other films who have mined this territory. Nothing of interest is going on in this film.
I expected a lot more from Robert DeNiro and Barry Levinson. How could the pair who gave us Wag the Dog have come up with this and thought it would be funny? |
