CGiii Comment

Will Karen Black act in anything that is offered to her? The answer is yes - not a good choice Ms Black - for this is a turkey.

Maybe the intention was to make some kind of mockumentary but decided, at the last minute, to make a proper film - a big mistake.

Keep well away from this train wreck.

Jaglom's career isn't exactly illustrious and, by these standards, it never will be.

The(ir) Blurb...

The tale of a young girl fresh off the bus from Iowa, who falls in love with a sexy and promising young actor, though their relationship threatens to complicate her own obsessive goal of becoming a famous actress. The film perfectly captures the delightful and desperate lives of those chasing dreams in Hollywood: One day they are shuffling down a boardwalk with too many suitcases, and the next they are lounging in contemporary hillside homes with a view of the city. Though neither state is permanent the more desirable one fuels the dream. The story's extraordinary execution portrays Hollywood as the fantastic and insane place that it is.
