Trivia:
The reason for the Crazy Credit "A complete list of associate producers is available on request" is that, throughout the film, anyone who could help make the film-within-the-film was given an associate producer credit. more
Goofs:
Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): The quote: "Ann Black: First organized fire department was on the border of Dalmatia and Sardinia in the year 642" is completely false. In fact the first organized fire department dates back at least to ancient Egypt, and in ancient Rome year AD 6 form an idea of Marcus Egnatius Rufus. Additionally it was, it is and it will be physically impossible for Dalmatia and Sardinia to have a common border. more

Slight but colorful, 18 January 2004

Author: moonspinner55 from redlands, ca

The filmmakers who invade Vermont are patronizing, condescending and pig-headed...to the locals and to each other. Writer-director David Mamet gets in some good acerbic digs at show business and isn't afraid to make anyone and everyone look the fool. After all, it's only "just a movie" to us--to them, it's brain surgery at a cost. The cast seems to be having a great time, Alec Baldwin in particular. Philip Seymour Hoffman has never been so benign--and thats a good thing (what a nice change to see him relaxed, romantic and clean-cut). The picture isn't a barn-burner, it never crackles or builds comedic momentum like, say, "Tootsie", but it's a flip, funny, unfettered throwaway. **1/2 from ****
