This Is My Year

This movie is a great little indie film with funny writing and solid acting. It follows a young woman as she gives herself one last shot to make it in Hollywood -- perhaps because I have friends in the entertainment industry, I found the story very relatable. It's charming, likable, and an exceedingly pleasant way to spend a couple of hours.

I decided to pop this on because the lead looked hot - Yes, I was hook, line and sinkered.

Beauty distorts, and it is like one of those girls that you meet who you are instantly attracted to, but after a few weeks of dating, you realise that there's nothing much else there.

Actors are a dime a dozen - good actors are hard to come by (I know) - this film is the result of good looking and affable people who confuse acting with flirting with a guy with a camera.

In fact, I'm going to stop the review here because it would be totally unfair to go on - as I could only last a painful 17 minutes. I mean... I was totally stunned...

Sorry, but this is hands-down, the worst film I've seen THIS YEAR and the two stars is down to the skill (or stupidity) of being able to drag this out for 97 minutes... As I say, at 17m, I was looking at the time left and when I saw 80 minutes, my brain nearly fell out of my ear.

Stop with the fake shill reviews please - everyone is onto you!

It was really very enjoyable. It shows what I can imagine being a very difficult and scary time for someone moving to LA and trying so hard to succeed. The comedy mixed in nicely with the story. RandP

If you reset your expectations to indie low budget drama, you'll enjoy this one. There's a vibe you get with homegrown flicks that feels more real (see:Clerks) and this has that, despite fairly good production values.

An intimate, sparse, cinema verite-style film about the despairing grind of trying to make it in Los Angeles. It resonated with me due to my own personal experiences.
