Kevin Spacey is the only touch of class in this film, and the sole saviour of the film receiving a one star rating from me. He plays an executive movie producer who takes great delight in making his assistant's life a misery (who is weakley acted out by the unbelievable Frank Whaley). Spacey delivers some razor-sharp, witty put-downs, and I'm sure a lot of people will be able to relate to an ecotistical boss making their life a misery. However, excluding an unpredictable and interesting-enough ending, the film plods along with very little plot changes or development of characters, apart from the daily humiliation from Spacey of his bumbling assistant. Worth a watch for Spacey fans, or an unchallenging watch on a rainy day, but very little to get excited about.
