Peter Rooker, has hit a crossroads in his life. He's just been given his marching orders by his girlfriend, no longer enjoys his job, and is looking for something new in his life. One evening he ventures into a small theatre where a community drama company is holding auditions for a production of Cyrano de Bergerac. He may have no no acting experience and stumbles through his impromptu audition, but director Edwina wants to give him a shot, and gives bestows on him the title role of Cyrano. This opens up a new world to Peter, dominated by eccentric small-time actors Michael and Grace, who are playing Christian and Roxanne, and gives him a new enthusiasm for life. Problem is, both Peter and Michael have become infatuated with Grace, and as Peter tries to find a way to win her attention, Edwina begins to wonder if casting Peter was such a good idea after all.

This was an enjoyable film. Not one that I would rush to watch again but it passed quite pleasantly.

Typical Rom-Com

By wikkidsmyle (438 reviews) from Newmarket , 27 Mar 2008

Marcus Thomas (who?) plays nice-but-dim Peter, a self-confessed 'dull man in a dull job with a dull car' who one day sees a poster outside the local community theatre advertising auditions for the production of 'Cyrano de Bergerac'. He attends and there not only meets the charismatic Mike (John Corbett) and the scatty Grace (Amy Smart) but also lands the lead role of Cyrano. Needless to say, the rest of the story - about love and self-development - is pretty predictable, but the film rolls along nicely in a silly rom-com sorta way. What makes the film, though, are two stand-out cameos: from Sean Astin, as Ken, the annoying ham and Patty Duke in a dual role as the stuffy assistant, Mrs Keene, and Earlene, the lush costume designer. Worth a look!

A step into the Dramatic

By Mayuk (14 reviews) from Nottingham , 13 Nov 2007

THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS Show review anywayHide

I really enjoyed this movie. The Main charcter is lonely so he goes to a theater to try out for a play and gets the leading role . The charcter becomes involved in the community of the theater and meets intresting people and challenges.

I have had a long interest in amature dramatics and I think this is why this film appelled to me it was a love story and a adult coming of age story. The acting was good I liked John Corbetts larger than life charcter of the actor who turned down Statford

well worth a watch,.
