This was a thoughtful, funny, movie that spun quickly, interestingly and artfully around Robert De Niro's character. The script was clever, the acting was terrific--but, there was something missing from this film. It became too, too much. The writer/director character was way over the top--and he dragged the film down a bit. I have the feeling that because its showing has been so limited, that this movie did not do well at the box office. That pains me--it was so much more clever than most films. I highly recommend it. But, it's neither a big crowd pleaser- nor an art film.

Incredibly slow movie. There were some funny moments, most of which could be seen in the trailer. Great cast.....bad script; overall poor execution.. Ironically, Robert DeNiro ends up producing a bad movie about a guy that produces a bad movie! The joke's on us! Avoid at all costs.

We go to the movies every Friday. This had to be one of the worst movies I've seen. I was waiting for it to end. It was pretty bad. It had great actors doing a big Cameo piece just because they could. it would be great if they just did a great movie like they all used to. Dissappointed.

[Based on an advance preview:] This Barry Levinson-directed film is being advertised as a ?comedy?, which I feel is somewhat inaccurate: while it has SOME humorous situations and ?aside? comments, I found it to be more of a European-style ?SLICE-OF-LIFE? drama. ROBERT De NIRO plays a film producer having a lot of trouble getting his films properly finished (due to an uncooperative English director and a tough studio boss played by CATHERINE KEENER) and getting new ones made (due to a frequently-obstinate BRUCE WILLIS and his agent JOHN TURTURRO). He tries to juggle work (often unsuccessfully) with his 3 kids and 2 ex-wives, friends, cohorts and others. It?s a difficult life he leads, full of twists, turns, disagreements, jealousy and problems. While I found this movie quite interesting overall, it came across more as FASCINATING than truly clever or especially ?enjoyable?.

I saw this movie last night and was impressed. At first it was kind of hard to follow along but once you catch on its a really good film. It provides insight for people who are in the movie industry and what they deal with on a regular basis. I found it very insightful. Bruce Willis is great in this. Im not a big Dinero fan but I felt he did really good. The movie is about Deniro (a movie pruducer) running into work issues he deals with while trying to maintain a steady personal life. One of the films he iss producing has a drector that makes a film that he feels provides true artistic merit and the investors want to change the ending because they feel it doesnt fit thier "commercial" needs. In short the Directer of the film pulls his original ending at the premier. I thought that was great because it shows that you have to stand up for what you believe in even if it doesnt make money or fits in with everyones beliefs. It doesnt hit you right after you watch it but its great!
