The question of why this film is being re-released is superseded by the question of who would want to watch it.
03/24/05
The incessant betrayals and confidences become monotonous after a time, and the film sinks into the familiar swamp of suburban futility.
03/10/05
The movie works as well as it does because the cast knows the material so intimately.
02/25/05
Writer-director Phillip F. Messina's insider comedy about Hollywood almost-rans gives off an air of clammy desperation that feels all too authentic without being especially funny and bogs down early in repetitive shtick.
02/25/05
An accomplished farce populated by sly and knowing comedic performances.
02/25/05
At its best, Philip Frank Messina's show business comedy plays like a less acerbic, less Jewish triple episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm.
