Authors Anonymous

I wasn't sure whether or not to give this one a go considering the current low rating (which was 4.4 when I wrote this review) but I must say I'm glad I did.

It's not the most amazing movie of all time or anything but it kept me entertained throughout it's running-time.

It feels like it was heavily inspired by the TV-series 'Modern Family' and Christopher Guest's filmography with a fake documentary approach having the characters talk straight to the camera occasionally about their lives and the other characters etc.

If you want to get technical some angles could simply not have been captured the way they were in the movie by a documentary-crew, with for instance multiple- angle close ups of characters sitting opposed to each other at a table but no camera-man in sight in any of the shots, but it doesn't take you out of the movie or anything.

As far as the movie goes it had a lot of funny moments with a stellar cast (good to see Chris Klein again) and even though the plot is hard to describe as it's not really a plot-based movie but merely about some odd characters with hopes of becoming successful writers (some odder than others) it does entertain and that's all I wanted from the movie.

I had to rewatch this because I barley remember this movie, that being said, I like this film didn't love it but liked it, the movie starts of really interesting, I liked the way it was film like a documentary, something different in quite a while, Kaley Cuocco though omg she is so fine to see in here, is nice seeing her in something else besides The Big Bang Theory. She was really good in here, as well for the rest of the actors, the movie develops really good and the Awkard moments were shot really good, and the comedy was deliver on time to make you laugh at the right time, it's a really joyful film, very solid comedy, and a really good ending that satisfied me at the end, So for that being said I give " Authors Anonymous " a solid C-. One last thing guys I like the other actress in here Teri Polo she played her character really good and some of her deliveries was just on point, the comedy in here was on point.

Decent watch at best, probably won't watch again, and can't recommend.

This is one of those movies that looks like it is written for writers, and it's not that its bad, but the target audience shifts away from people that normally watch movies.

A group of struggle-writers basically begins to break up when the youngest, hottest woman in the group wins the networking game and moves on to a better life.

If you're not familiar with L.A. / Hollywood culture, or not a writer, or unfamiliar with the road to fame, then you're not going to get the full effect of this movie.

I get a lot of it, and don't find it to be substantial.

I went to see based on a recommendation from my writer's group, dragging my husband along with me to a theater over an hour away. We had seen the trailer, but didn't realize that it would be laugh-out-loud funny so often. The semi-documentary style of the movie made it feel like you got to know each of the characters really well. The movie took you through all of the emotions that you experience as a writer; the heartache of rejection, the envy of others' success, and the fear that you might never get a contract yourself.

This movie is not 'easy' watching. As with many indie movies, there are times between laughs that are really uncomfortable, and you just have to sit with them and let them sink in. I was impressed by how each of the actors were able to show their characters struggle with the awkwardness of their own emotions in various situations.

Both my husband and I were impressed with the movie. We both think that it felt 'real'. It's definitely worth a watch - even if you're not a writer - if you've ever competed for anything and watched someone else win, you will get something from this movie. There was a powerful message in there as well - always keep writing.

Since literature and movies usually need a kind of conflict they center on, this movie is about a writing group breaking apart by jealous feelings.

The members of the writing group meet again and again to read and comment on each others writing. These meetings are recorded by a camera team - much in the way "like the Kardashians'" as one character would put it. In between these meetings the camera follows each member of the group on their quest to be read authors.

"Authors Anonymous" is listed as a comedy, though I most certainly would not categorize it as one. There was no chance to interrupt the movie with heartfelt laughter, a chuckle or even a smirk. Rather, one/I felt rather sorry, uncomfortable or bored by a plot that could be foretold and characters that where pure chliché.

I really like Kaley Cuoco on "The Bing Band Theory". I just felt a little disappointed that the character she plays in this movie is so alike to the one in the series. I'm very positive her range is much wider and it would have been interesting to see that. She plays her part uniquely just as everyone else in the movie does.

Still, this comedy is rather depressing. In case you are looking for something uplifting, this might not be the right time to watch "Authors Anonymous". In case you need a little Hollywood-reality insight topped with stereotypes, then enjoy!
