Joe Eszterhas’ lame, career-killing non-movie is 85 minutes of an over-validated, out-of-touch, inexplicably bitter screenwriter grinding an ax and making O.J. jokes.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Aug 9, 2022

The level of humor could be called sophomoric, but that would insult most sophomores.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Mar 25, 2013

A comedy without laughs, an expose without point.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Mar 25, 2013

What turns the witlessness rancid is the way the movie is saturated in the very corruption it thinks it's ridiculing.

| Original Score: F | Sep 7, 2011

A caustic but under-funny "expose" of the venality of the motion picture business.

If you harbor an interest in watching so-called "industry smarts" autodestruct, this carries a certain morbid appeal, but that's about the extent of it.

Not even Stallone and Jackie Chan can save it..

It's unafraid of the consequences of its existence, and it's brutally nasty , offensive, and abrasive. In other words, the kind of comedy they used to make in the 70's before things became politically correct.

Skip it.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/10 | Jul 26, 2004

A desperate and disjointed farce that flops considerably. This satirical sabotage on the moviemaking industry is an incoherent and unfunny abomination

Full Review | Original Score: 1/5 | May 27, 2003

This jab at Hollywood seems close in subject matter to another title credited to Alan Smithee, Bloodsucking Pharaohs in Pittsburgh.

Decent idea, extremely lousy execution. More talent has not gone to waste in a long time.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/5 | Feb 3, 2003

a film more noteworthy for its title's lack of commas than for any other asset

Full Review | Jan 2, 2003

Pity everyone involved with this excessive, ego-driven 'satire' of excess and ego. It's too bad that only directors can remove their names from noxious material like this.
