All I can think about this horrid piece of crap is:
"Oh, Jesus Christ."
The "idea" of this movie is a good idea. The execution of this film was the worst. Some say, "Well it's an inside Hollywood joke." No, it isn't. "Kid Notorious" on Comedy Central is an inside Hollywood joke. Joe Ester-whosits is an inside Hollywood joke -- that continues to get a paycheck. But...there isn't anything actually WRONG with that..as we can all see, there are many inside Hollywood jokes that are getting paychecks while talent is still knocking at the door.
As I've written, the IDEA of this film was a savvy one -- it just doesn't transfer--or makes sense -- in this film. We all know who "Alan Smithee" is and its kinda funny to see a real "Alan Smithee" want to take his make off of a film. Funny -- for about 15 seconds. Then we have a whole 'nother hour or so of this movie to go, of nothing but pure hell masquerading as "a Hollywood inside joke".
The guy who writes on Bazooka Joe Bubble Gum wrappers would have done this film better. Much Better. 'Oscar' Caliber better. Okay, I went a bit too far on the last better comparison.
Or did I?!?!?
