    Not everybody's cup of tea

    The rudest, most forced, most annoying, most unpleasant comedy movie ever been made. This is so far the worst movie i've ever seen in my life. The main character incessantly shouting out shrieking voice, almost as annoying as the sound of nails scratching on a blackboard. No lesson to be learned, no clear direction where the story leads to. It's a complete mess. The only good thing about this movie is i didn't sleep at all. I was curious to see what happened, hoping, and waiting for any surprise, and i didn't get any. Nothing beautiful can be seen in the movie at all. Ugly characters, ugly attitudes, ugly voice, ugly story-line, ugly ending. This is a bad movie about making a bad movie. Ugghhh!!!!

    Mind Numbingly Awful

    I never write reviews, but I had to make an exception for this 'movie', mainly because the reviews already written do not do it justice. Alas, this is not technically a review but rather a warning. If the shockingly low score doesn't deter you from seeing this movie, then please let this review do the trick. The movie is pathetically self- referencing, and while assuming it is being funny, it is, in fact, annoying, lacking and completely awful. I couldn't even finish this movie! The main character's voice is squeaky high and forces you to grimace throughout the movie. Though plot is not the worst idea ever, somehow in this movie's execution of it, it becomes sub par and laughable, and not in a good way. Writing, photography and directing is at a level of a high school AV club after school project. Humor is crude and virtually non-existent. Just avoid at any cost.

    Lots of positive emotions

    When you feel like you've seen everything before and no movie can make you laugh out loud than just see this one. Seriously. When reading the storyline I thought it would be another stupid comedy with a few funny moments… Nope. This movie is something special! To tell the truth sometimes I burst out laughing and crying as the humor was just killing fun!! The main characters are so optimistic and energetic that you really believe in their success. Ha-ha, I wasn't disappointed by their results, you should see what kind of movie they shoot!

    I should admit that the script is absolutely superb. One can't even imagine what's gonna happen in a second and it's cool that you don't have a clue of what Halley will do next. Want to notice that Halley Feiffer rocks as an actress. I've never seen a single movie with her or with Ryan Spahn, but I was impressed by their talent. Hope to see more good movies with them starring. If you hesitate whether to watch it or not - don't doubt as it will make your day!

    Laughed Harder Than I Have In Years

    I just saw this fabulous Indie film, written by the hilarious Halley Feiffer. I laughed throughout the entire movie, and could not disagree more with the review that gave this a 1 out of 10. Their reason for this was how awful the lead character was, but that was the whole point of the movie. Her alcoholism led to her awfulness, and the movie is making fun of the lead character and her ridiculousness while dealing with her B movie star status. It is a take on the film industry, and somehow made alcoholism funny without trivializing it. Well done.

    I saw this film at the Cleveland International Film Festival and Halley was generous enough do to a question and answer session after. She seemed unlike the girl she played in the film, although she said she based the film on some real life experiences. To put herself out there like that is not only brave but also brilliant.

    Impressed!!

    I had good expectations prior to watching this film thanks to the hilarious Michael Urie, and I was not disappointed! It was great to see big name actors mixed in with the much lesser known cast, and everyone held their own and really embraced their characters. There wasn't a dull moment in the movie and my favorite scene was watching Ryan Spahn show off his comedy/singing/dancing skills!! Great director, great cast, can't wait to see what else Ryan and Michael will attempt to conquer in the future. Great job guys!!!!!! Michael directing the movie and being a director IN the movie was a great nod! Also really starting to love Mamie Gummer...I've seen her on TV and was pleased to see her in the movie as well!
