Overview
A Hollywood Film unit invades a small Vermont town leading to wholesale abandonment of values and virtue. A smart, warm and funny movie - and not just for movie buffs. Tagline: When a film crew came to Waterford, Vermont - They Shot First And Asked Questions Later.
How this steaming pile of a wannabe hip comedy got such glowing reviews is beyond me. You’d think that a cast that includes Alec Baldwin, Phillip Seymour Hoffman and William H. Macey would have something to offer, right? Macey is completely wasted in this film. Worse, director/writer puts his awful wife (Rebecca Pidgeon) into the film as a lead. Sarah Jessica Parker comes in to ensure that the film is a complete waste.
