Jennifer Simpson (Jcs04dir)

This is one of the most creative and thoughtful comedies ever made, but is relatively unknown. David Mamet directs an all star cast, in this satirically true portrayal of the film industry as it collides with a small town. And I do mean collides. The comedy seems effortless as the actors aren't merely playing at being funny, they embody their wacky character counterparts, and those characters will have you crying with laughter. The wit of the dialogue in this comedy (Also written by Mamet) stands out above all and the comic timing is spot on, as anyone with a working knowledge of scriptwriting will tell you is a difficult feat indeed. A must see movie, especially for those who have some experience with the film industry.

Every time I watch this movie I find a new wacky OCD thing that Nicholson does. Definitely a very funny and very touching movie at times. Very honest acting, well written dialouge, and likeable characters once you get to know them. One you can watch again and again.
