Trailer Synopsis Cast

Diane Blaine has the face of a movie star. Unfortunately, fallen star/tabloid queen Jamie Stephens already made it famous. Hollywoods constant rejection due to what Diane refers to as "TJS" ("Too Jamie Stephens") has made her bitter, frustrated....and, yes, whiny. Co-worker/boyfriend Jack Sanders doesn't help matters. His idea of ambition is letting it ride. Now he's in major debt to a trigger-happy mobster who, interestingly enough, has a thing for Jamie Stephens. Jack's only way out? Convince Diane to be Jamie and wipe out the debt having one meal with a made man. It's literally the performance of her life. With Jack's on the line.

Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.

A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

I adore Chris Kattan. But I generally don't have high expectations for his movies. This one surprised me and left me in hysterics the whole time from his cuteness particularly in the first half to Norm MacDonald's sleaziness and the raunchiness of making a porn scene and other SNL alum such as Horatio Sanz, David Spade & Chris Parnell. Was also great to see Kattan work with Chazz Palminteri again, as they did in a Night at the Roxbury, but this time Palminteri's not such a friendly guy! Nicky Whelan was fabulous playing two roles. So if you're a goofball and looking for something to watch, I recommend this. Just make sure there are no kids in the room!

Look, I know, I know. Chris Kattan is definitely a red flag in a movie. And David Spade and Norm MacDonald are, let's say, erratic in the quality of their movies. SNL-cast movies tend to be based on a dumb premise with few gags to relieve the predictable tedium.But basically everything comes together in this gem. The pacing never flags, there are multiple nutty plot-lines that all weave together most satisfactorily. And Norm MacDonald is at his absolute deadpan best, constantly saying these lines that are some combination of disgusting and/or insane as though he's a sophisticated aristocrat having the most reasonable conversation in the world. This is a comedy that had me laughing from beginning to end --- and I'm a guy who stops watching most so-called comedies after 10 minutes because I haven't seen one thing that's funny or intriguing.

Stuck in Antwerp on a rainy day when this film appeared, oddly, on the Prime Network "family" channel. While absolutely not kid friendly, I found this film a well paced recreation of classic screwball comedies, from Bringing Up Baby to The Owl and the Pussycat.Surprising cast, clever cameos. All the female eye candy is smart and tough, not victimized and in need of rescue. Nicky Whelan is my new favorite as the pragmatic Diane Blaine. Norm MacDonald's character Sid delivers a classic running deadpan joke that rivals "The Aristocrats" for filth and fun. Not high art, but a real good time that doesn't patronize or front.I'd be surprised if something in this movie didn't offend you, but more surprised if it didn't simultaneously make you laugh. A bit of an inside joke for those of us who have lived in or around Hollywood and are familiar with the weird business of getting entertainment work, but not so much that other viewers will mind. If you have a couple of hours to have some harmless (but decidedly adult) fun, check out Hollywood and Wine.

i was hoping that this movie cheer me up a little bit but oh my god, don't waste your time on this when are hundreds of really funny movies out there i cant remember a single laugh or a really funny moment this is the only review here and probably the only one i hope they stop making this kind of movies like this especially with a cast that have some better ones in the past. maybe was the plot, not a interesting story. watch it, if you want to agree with me and add your own conclusions I'm a fan of spade but he was only like 3 minutes on it, i didn't stop the movie just to write this and prevent you, i hope someone agree with me on this one..
