End-of-year review
By Rehan (127 reviews) from London , 30 Oct 2007[Highly rated reviewer]
This film must have a been a LOT of fun for the half-familiar faces in it to make - a p*sstake of all Hollywood absurdities, and an enjoyable way of taking off the sillier aspects of a bonkers industry,
But what I can't believe is that there are other viewers who thought this subtle; it was about as subtle as a Hummer in a Chelsea backstreet.
On the whole, it'd have been most suitable for perhaps two half-hour comedy sketches: certainly not for a full-length film ('movie'), where it overstays its welcome by about 50 mins.
And Ricky Gervais needs to stop doing his shtick now: it's getting tiresome.- Was this review helpful to you?

It doesnt try to change the world, just make you laugh. Nice film that doesn't have too much of a plot, a great lie on the sofa and eat pizza film. Lots of famous faces, now to look on IMDB to see what films i recognise them from.- Was this review helpful to you?

Considered for a Razzie!!
By a customer , 12 Jun 2011I was disappointed this doesn't come close to Christopher Guest's other films such as Best In Show or A Mighty Wind.
The improvisation wasn't nearly as good as in the those two films. I think this is because they're mocking their own profession and so perhaps played it a little too safe or thought they knew the subject matter so well there was no need for further research. But either way it fell short. I know Spinal Tap was over twenty years ago but this was not a return to form. David Guest should stick to unknown territories that continue to
stretch him as a writer and a filmmaker.- Was this review helpful to you?

This film is disgracefully unimaginative.
By Paulo1984 (1 review) from U.K. , 08 Mar 2011I'm not sure that I could actually comment on what this film was about. The main reason for this is because I fell asleep about a quarter of the way through it.
This is rather unfortunate seen as I am an insomniac who relies on sedatives to sleep...
This film had the same effect as my sleepers.
Perhaps the NHS should prescribe it at the sleep clinic!?- Was this review helpful to you?

Hilarious it's not, unless you like mediocre slapstick
By NickandorKazz (35 reviews) from UK , 23 Feb 2011The only way I was able to keep watching was the elixir of Jane Lynch. She seemed to appear when I was about to turn off and convince me to carry on. Everything else was just painful and boring. I didn't laugh, not even a chuckle. It was slow, badly edited, meandering and bitty. It was clearly meant to be satirical but it's was just OTT, like they felt the need to go overboard to make us understand they were being sarcastic and mocking their own business. I got that after five minutes, I didn't need 100 minutes of spoonfeeding. The only person involved in this film who understood satire was Jane Lynch. The humour was way too forced and ended up not being funny at all. Also the casting was really disappointing. I recognised a lot of them from mediocre comedies, most as mediocre supporting actors. It needed at least one decent and intelligent comedy actor because it was basically bad slapstick. I think you'll either love it or hate it, as the other reviews show.- Was this review helpful to you?

For me, the weakest of the Guest comedies
By Electricvic (84 reviews) from London , 16 May 2010Possibly proving that attention-seeking Hollywood actors are beyond parody, this film curiously fails to raise more than a few chuckles - for me at least.- Was this review helpful to you?
