Recently divorced Andy wants some excitement out of his dreary life in a small town. After giving thought to any number of possibilities, he decides to interest many of his friends into going along in making a porno film. This preposterous idea catches the town's imagination. They all agree it's an excellent way to make some money and have fun while at it. The only problem is Andy, or his cronies have no clue as how to go about it.
"The Moguls", written and directed by Michael Traeger is a film with no agenda to wow the viewer and that is why it is the fun it is to watch. The director was blessed in assembling the best cast money could buy. After all, a film with Jeff Bridges in it can't be bad. Mr. Bridges is one of our best film actors in that he is so adaptable to whatever part he plays that it is always a pleasure to see him on the screen. He is totally sincere in his approach to acting, perhaps the best asset any actor could have.
Tim Blake Nelson, Joe Pantoliano, Ted Danson, Glenne Headley, Jane Tripplehorn, William Fichtner, Patrick Fugit, among others, act as an ensemble team, no doubt inspired by Mr. Traeger, who gets good results out of the talented cast he put together.
The film doesn't ask anything out of the viewer. So just relax and have fun watching it.
