CGiii Comment
It's about actors, models and waiters - and all the usual guff that goes along with them.
This plodding comedy is a humourless slog that will have you itching to push the FF button - take some good advice: Scratch the itch.
There is an interesting scene - completely misplaced - that addresses a Holocaust denier - what the f&*k is it doing in such a trivial film as this?
Mind numbingly awful - despite a respectable cast.

The(ir) Blurb...
Joe and Mary have been living together in Manhattan for six years. Joe is an actor, who has no agent and no thesping credits, but whose ambitions are very high. He works as a waiter at a cafe. Mary works as a make-up stylist for hot fashion photographer Blair, and she pays most of the pair's bills. Joe finally lowers his standards and accepts a degrading bit in a Madonna video, while his friend and co-waiter Bob gets a high-paying job on a soap opera opposite siren Kelly.
