Review

  • Directed by the late great bogdanovich. A bedroom farce about a show within a show. Right off, there's imogen poots doing a horrible, horrible new york accent. And she's british. Would have been better if she had just used her own accent, or maybe a plain murrican accent. A whole lot of flashback, but when a director is casting a film, the girl who shows up for an audition used to be his favorite call girl. Stars owen wilson, who has never been my favorite actor. I just don't believe his acting. Small roles for ileana douglas, cybill shepherd, tatum o'neal, jen aniston, austin pendleton (who had worked with bogdano on "what's up doc", one of my favorite films. ), joanna lumley (ab-fab!), quentin tarantino. Who isn't in this film??? Bogdanovich did such an amazing job on what's up doc, i had to watch this one. He only directed one more after this one; just passed away this year. LOVE the story. Love everyone except for the two leads...i wish they had cast others besides wilson and poots. But it still works.
