Amy Adler
Amanda (Sherilyn Fenn) is a rising female film star. Her pushy agent, Sidney Stone (JoBeth Williams) is upset, then, to learn that Amanda is not happy with the script of her latest project. Hasn't Sidney made Amanda's career and isn't her co-star to be none other than Brad Pitt? Yet, Amanda insists that her character in the new screenplay is stilted and subtly marginalized. Therefore, when Amanda runs into a Hollywood tour bus guide, Harold (Jeremy Piven) at a bar-for-the-stars, she is excited to learn that he is also a screenwriter! Except, of course, he isn't, but his admiration for her and for film prompts him to tell a little white lie. Amanda begs Harold to read the script and make changes and she will arrange for him to be paid for his work. With his trolley business in financial trouble, thanks to some mismanagement by his partner-father (Alex Rocco), and with the prospect of meeting Amanda again and again, Harold agrees to try. But, can Harold pull off the impossible, that is, fix the screenplay and get Amanda to fall for him, too? This is a lovely story about the good, but poor, guy finding love with a glamorous Hollywood star. Fenn is most lovely, funny and sweet in her role as a glam girl while Piven delivers his usual rapid-fire, good-natured and comic performance as the unlikely suitor. Rocco is fine as the scheming father and Williams is a hoot and a holler as the high-rolling agent. Wallace Shawn has a brief but important role as a fellow agent while Stephanie Miller, now a national talk show hostess, is a stitch as Shawn's reality-checking personal assistant. Then, too, the costumes are terrific, the Hollywood setting very beautiful and the script full of fun, romance and truth about the chaotic world of movie making. Find this flick at once, if you are looking for another entry in the romcom genre. It truly is "just right" for those who are always on the prowl for a feel-great reason to skip the usual household chores.

I really love Piven and I have always felt he should have been the leading man in most of the films he's in. In this movie he really gets his chance to show his stuff. And he blows it out of the water with his charm, and personality. The movie is cute, funny, and makes you cry (just a little). Truly a great flick to watch on valentines day or a girls night in. My mother and all of my girlfriends (some who don't even like the Piv!!!) think that this movie is really good to watch on a Friday night. Piven's performance of a guy who just wants to get to know the girl is endearing and makes you wish you were the girl. The father and the son relationship is fantastic and sweet. And you'll wish there was a little violence between Piven and the agent.

This is as the cover of the video says a romantic comedy. A fun movie that although it is not going to change the world gives you a moment away from the day's trials and tribulations. Isn't that the best thing that a movie can do? Jeremy Piven is a great comedian who can take any material and make it his, so any fan must see this movie. He and Ms. Fenn should make more movies together because their chemistry is right. This movie was made by men who have never before or since made another film. If I understand it correctly the producers are dentists who love movies and wanted to make this one based on their script. Rent it and share it with someone you love with popcorn.
