I'd never heard of it, but the intelligent writing and subtlety is what makes this such an enjoyable surprise. I'm not surprised if other reviewers didn't get it, but it definitly makes some points well. There was a man, and an industry, highlighted by this film, but it focused on the cause and purpose rather than just cracking jokes.The acting is also superb... Jerry stiller carried it quite well. I though it was a great project that made a point.
I think the main problem is that the main actors, Jerry Stiller and Jeneane Gerofalo, are usually only good in small doses. The movie spoofs are hit and miss, the better ones seem to be in the begining.
The concept for the movie could have worked very well, and some scenes work, but overall it's a good idea not resolved successfully. It's disappointing, but not horrible. With better writing, it could have been excellent, but the talent and execution didn't live up to the idea.
