What did you people expect from this movie? Just because DeNiro is in it you were expecting some tough guy like he has played so many times? This movie very accurately portrayed the movie industry and some of the people that work in it. The film was written from Art Linson's, the actual producer, own dealings in Hollywood. DeNiro did a great job.
shareI thought the film was excellent. I was very entertained.
shareI don't get the hate either. It's a harmless, funny movie. Robert De Niro is really great, they all are actually. I don't understand how anyone could have such a strong dislike for it. I expected people to enjoy seeing this side of Hollywood. The problems with getting a movie made are interesting to me, thrown in with the personal problems that are the result of having to deal the professional ones. And there is a plot. I don't know why anyone would see this film if they weren't interested this kind of stuff.
And no one can even say what sucked about it, just that it sucked. What was so bad about it exactly? How is the cast wasted? I'm confused also because it's not like this is fluff and I can admit it's just a guilty pleasure. I don't think it was trying to be too hard to be funny or hip either, they let the craziness of the situations speak for themselves.
