Leah Remini & Lorraine Bracco are hilarious in this wildly entertaining movie

Leah Remini and Lorraine Bracco are hilarious in this romantic comedy slash horror spoof that anyone with a dream-chasing (and maybe delusional) loved one will instantly relate. Bracco masterfully balances tough love with exasperation, reminding us why she's an icon, while Remini's Hollywood know-it-all steals every scene with razor-sharp wit and hilariously over-the-top industry jargon. James Austin Kerr delivers a breakout performance as the ever-optimistic dreamer, while Christine Spang is pitch-perfect as his wife, desperately trying to keep their family-and her sanity-intact while the chaos unfolds. This sharp, self-aware film blends horror tropes with family dysfunction, making for a wildly entertaining ride.
