Reviews
Probably the best and funniest of the mid-’90s crop of movies about making movies.
A valentine to the independent film world, DiCillo's version of Truffaut's Night for Day offers a smart, amusing look at the perils of low-budget filmmaking; the ensemble acting is superb.
Really clever little comedy about low-budget filmmaking with Buscemi at his best.
Sluggish, dumbly overpraised farce about an indie movie I would never see, but I still might pick over this one.
Meaty and witty, the sort of product that rewards a closer examination even as it buggers intimacy.
... a wickedly funny, acid-laced commentary on the actors, writers, directors, and crew who toil away making low-budget semi-masterpieces.
