Very funny, and very honest, depiction of climbing the ladder in Hollywood and all the humiliations, frustrations and disappointments inherent in the process. As a former struggling writer in Hollywood, I not only lived much of this story, but saw many friends burn out, crack up or just fade away like the characters in this movie. Kudos to writer/directors Terry Keefe and Michael Wechsler for their humor and their insight. I assume they chewed some of the same dirt we all did. Seeing this film just reinforces the fact that I did the right thing by returning to the family ranch here in Texas to raise Ostrich and Llammas. They're good eatin'.
I thought this movie has a great theme. Production assistants in Hollywood are "Slaves" and gophers. This film tells the story with great humor and makes the bitter pill easier to swallow. Using the word "Slaves" is an understatement to what production assistants really go through day after day.
