I saw this little gem at a studio screening in LA last year. I was pleased to see that it didn't fall into the "jack of all trades - master of none" category so may independent movies suffer from. It was first rate in every respect including writing, directing, and acting. The lead actor nailed his performance as did the entire cast from A-lbert to Z-uniga!
Who couldn't relate to a movie about a kid from nowhere reaching for the brass ring and getting caught in it! Talk about a universal fantasy! (It nailed mine!) While the movie's filled with hardcore Hollywood realities it explores them without dashing A-list dreams. There's a lot of the same dry humor here that I loved in "Swimming with Sharks." Bottom line: This movie has class. I went in with no expectations and left on a total high!
