The first 30 minutes of this movie are UNBELIEVABLE, but once the plot leads us onto the boat, it becomes a Luke-warm French farce. The idea of following the struggling actors and their eccentric self-training methods is hilarious. Their war with Alfred Molina's pompous star is equally exciting. Its unfortunate that Mr. Tucci felt that he had to make his film "more marketable" and bring in a recycled classic comedic device. For instance, why undercut your really witty idea with a series of lame sex jokes (Campbell Scott's character) and horribly dated homosexual jokes (Billy Connelly's blah turn) when you were on the way to writing something fresh and new? On a side note: When is Oliver Platt going to get the respect he deserves?
