A little gem

Definitely. I wonder what is wrong with the film industry that such a good movie didn't get theatrical release. Well, at least maybe in ten years time it'll get a cult film status. Who knows.

If you haven't seen this one so far, go and get it, as it is an extremely funny and intelligent story about a playwright who is suffering from kind of creative blocade, insomnia, sex problems, and maybe in two or three years time a lung cancer, but after few meetings with a little girl in the neighborhood......

The best moments: McGowan's "conversation" with a smoking writer at the fancy dress party, McGowan being examined by the doctor (auuu), McGowan arrested by the police during the walk after telling them his name is...McGowan, interview with McGowan in some TV show and finally Kenneth Branagh as Peter McGowan (I love all those cynical ba****ds like Spacey's character in Amercan Beauty).

The only weak point is...

SPOILER ...that McGowan's attitude towards the little girl changes a bit too rapid (at least in my opinion).

If you liked "Wonder Boys" go and see this one.
