Trivia:
Steven Soderbergh attached the following list of rules to the screenplay to his low budget ($2 M) film with a huge list of stars: - 1. All sets are practical locations. - 2. You will drive yourself to the set. If you are unable to drive yourself, a driver will pick you up, but you will probably become the subject of ridicule. Either way, you must arrive alone. - 3. There will be no craft service, so you should arrive on set "having had". Meals will vary in quality. - 4. You will pick, provide, and maintain your own wardrobe. - 5. You will create and maintain your own hair and make-up. - 6. There will be no trailers. The company will attempt to provide holding areas near a given location, but don't count on it. If you need to be alone a lot, you're pretty much screwed. - 7. Improvisation will be encouraged. - 8. You will be interviewed about your character. This material may end up in the film. - 9. You will be interviewed about the other characters. This material may end up in the finished film. - 10. You will have fun whether you want to or not. If any of these guidelines are problematic for you, stop reading now and send this screenplay back where it came from. more

seems like the movie within a movie DID work, 7 August 2002
10/10
Author: Xdude21 from dallas, tx

Going into this movie I didn't know what to expect because of the less than ecstatic reviews from papers and imdb, but i was delighted with the movie. I feel that Soderbergh did a great job following each character throughout the movie. The shifting from normal cinema camera work to the fuzzier hand-held showed the difference of 'movie live' and real life. This way of shooting is also used to trick you or leave you wondering, "what part WAS real?". David Hyde Pierce and Nicky Katt were hillarious and i would deffinately recomend this movie to anyone who enjoys independent type cinema.
