Drama Kings

I went to this movie on Friday with all the intentions of being cynical to another ridiculous independent movie and was pleasantly Surprised. OH MY GOD! What a surprise! I found it hilarious. Defiantly a diamond in the rough for Independent movies and wondering if these guys have made any other movies. I give it a big fat 10!! Going to see it again on Sunday.

Without being a spoiler I was immediately thrust into these 4 guys stories of trying to land a part in a big Hollywood production. I was laughing uncontrollably over this opening sequence and from there it only got better as we got to know these characters.

I guess what i really liked about it was the fact that nobody has done a movie like this yet. A movie that revolves around what Hollywood is all about to the people trying to make it in Hollywood. and They nailed it perfectly.

A cross between "Hollywood Shuffle"(another low budget satire set in Hollywood) and what you might see late @ night on Cinemax, this is film quite funny in a lot of spots and definitely raunchy. The biggest standout in the cast is Aaron Miller, who plays wannabe actor, Chris Grier. Every time he's on screen, he elicits big laughs that are well deserved. Somebody get this kid a movie deal!!

Overall, well worth the time. Hopefully it will get the attention and distribution it deserves. It's currently being screened during the L.A. Comedy Festival @ the Acme Comedy Theater in Hollywood, with the last showing this Sunday night.

Drama Kings is so funny me an my boyfriend couldn't stop laughing. Every scene is filled with laughs. I rarely laugh out loud but this is a laugh out loud script. The actors are so hysterical. I wanna see it over and over again. I loved all the actors and especially loves the actor who played Chris Grier, AAron Miller. His facial and physical comedy is natural and I would see any movie he is in. The movie tells a tale of actors trying to get jobs in Hollywood. As an actor i can say that it rings so true it makes you laugh. I especially love the commercial audition scenes. Run out to see this film. You wont regret it.

It was like "Swingers" on laughing gas. The main guy is seriously something else. Hilarious in the same way Jim Carrey was on "In Living Color." And the supporting cast was great too. So many funny people all in one place. Over the top, but in the best way possible.

And the story was great. Four wannabe actors competing for the same part. Classic. And the audition scenes at the beginning (my favorite part) had non-stop laughs the night I was there.

It was the only film playing three nights at the LA Comedy fest., but regrettably, I only got to see it once. I had to work the other two nights. (Damn the man!) But the night I saw it, the crowd was roaring. I spilled my drink on the girl in front of me in mid-laugh at one point, and she didn't even care. She was cracking up too! Haha!

Drama Kings is a perfect Hollywood film. It is filled with laughs and craziness. The main characters are over the top aspiring actors that are fighting for the same role. For someone in Hollywood, the jokes ring like they are personal and private. For others dreaming of Hollywood, Drama Kings is a window into the craziness that actors go thru to get a part. All done with side splitting tongue and cheek. Aaron Miller is a star waiting to break out. His is hysterical!!! Stacy Miller as his mother, nails it!! You never know what she will do next. And just when you think it cant get anymore insane, in walks Gilbert the casting director. Frank Iwan Jr. brings such a smarmy hilarity to the role he had me squirming in my seat. Dane Anderson and Bryan Watkins are writers/directors in the same vein as Matt and Ben. Take my advice and go see this movie, it's a blast. **** 4 stars.
