I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. It's wit, charm, and depth had me glued to the screen the whole time! I've always enjoyed Macy's work and he definitely shines in this one. The arc in his character is so clear and obvious, that it is easy yet enjoyable to go on the journey with his character. The movie's satirical view on Hollywood film-making is sure to make anyone laugh. The direction is clear and the movie is fast-paced, yet easy to follow. Honestly, it took me by surprise. I didn't really know what to expect, when I watched it and was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it. I also loved Jason Ritter's performance...this movie deserves some recognition. It's stacked with amazing talent. The beginning of the movie is done very well, drawing the audience into the piece. I HIGHLY recommend it!
