Worth watching
By NorwichTim (26 reviews) from UK , 28 Feb 2006[Highly rated reviewer]
Not an ambitious film, but very likable within its limits. It explores the incestuous interrelationships on a film set where things are always going wrong, is therefore a 'film about the film business' with echoes of The Player. Some funny moments, revolving around the ever-brilliant Steve Buscemi.- Was this review helpful to you?

(10)An enjoyable lesson in film making
By Geofbob (40 reviews) , 24 Dec 2012In its own way, this hugely funny movie captures the blood, sweat & tears of movie making as well as - or perhaps even better than -the great Fellini's '8½'. Steve Buscemi is near perfect as the indie director trying to contend with egotistical stars & inept technicians - his film having to be saved at the end of the day by his aged mother & a dwarf! The film festival interview with Buscemi on the DVD is also an instructive hoot.- Was this review helpful to you?

A HIDDEN GEM. TOP ACTING WITH BUSCEMI & THE "Angry Elf" actor! PRICELESS LAUGHS!
By FRENCHIEX (84 reviews) from London , 20 Dec 2012ONE OF THE BEST HIDDEN TREASURES OF HOLLYWOOD. my sister who did film studies only discovered this film through her uni teacher and then told me. What a well kept secret. This is truly hilarious, absolutely natural, some of the best lines you'll ever hear and you really feel like you are one of them, trying to blo*dy make that film happen. Anyone who has a dark sense of humour and find frustration funny, will be in heaven. Steve Buscemi has since been one of my favorite actor and I am so happy he truly has made a name for himself now. he really deserves it.- Was this review helpful to you?

Buscemi Wins Again
By Cato (705 reviews) from Lydbury North , 08 Oct 2012Couldn't quite figure out the title, but i've always liked Steve Buscemi and this is one of his funniest. Some genuine laughs at the pratfalls involved in making a film, especially on a small budget, as this one was made. The afterword by the director is unnecessarily smug, but hey this is America. Just watch the film.- Was this review helpful to you?

Living In Oblivion
By CharlieStar (1 review) from London , 10 Jun 2009I loved this film the first time I saw in the late '90's and wasn't disappointed this time round. Very funny particularly if you are interested in film making - and the character Chad Palomino is apparently based on a young Brad Pitt.- Was this review helpful to you?
