Having seen the first installment (THAT GUY...WHO WAS IN THAT THING) I was looking forward to seeing a female version. This does NOT disappoint.
First of all, it looks leaps and bounds better than its predecessor, and just seems more professionally done as a whole.
Second, by focusing on just eight actresses, the viewer gets to know them more than the guys in part 1, which felt a bit crowded with sixteen.
The film is full of witty anecdotes and interesting facts, but the stories told by Paget Brewster about on-set abuse, and L. Scott Caldwell's account of circumstances that forced her to choose between her career and her son, and her acknowledgment that she may have made a mistake with her choice, were heartrending.
This should be required viewing for anyone (of either gender) with acting ambitions, or anyone who works in the industry in any capacity. It is insightful, informative, and touching.
