Director's Cut

This movie isn't funny, in fact after about 15 mins I was ready to throw my remote through the screen just to shut Penn up! Oh and all his dumb goofy faces he makes through this entire thing, never have I ever, wanted to punch someone in the face so hard, in my life. Skip this garbage.

With this premise and the paring of Penn and Adam Rifkin, I was expecting this film to be hilarious but I didn't expect it to be so nasty! I really liked the way that they used this wild way of making a movie but part of me was left wanting more strong female characters. I get that it's from the perspective of the lead character who is a horrible man but I still think they could have found a way to make the female characters feel more than one note. That being said, this movie is wild, it's hilarious and it's very weird. Will watch again.

Great piece, throws the movie rules out the window and twists its will onto the screen.

Others have already explained the plot so I won't go into that here. Let's just say that Director's Cut has a lot more layers than you might expect. The underlying cop drama is beautifully shot and Herbie's director's commentary is very funny.

There are numerous throw-away one-liners and inside jokes and some of the special effects will have you laughing out loud.

The car chase near the end was spectacular!

Loved The Last Movie Star so I streamed this on Amazon. I came away underwhelmed. A little too much Penn Jillette for one movie and basically one joke about his character being obsessed with Missi Pyle.
