The Great Intervention

Mr. Moramarco's tour-de-force journey as an over-the-hill everyman (with sanity issues) through a mid-life crisis is full of laughs and good performances. You may get uncomfortable because it may be a lot closer to real life than you initially imagine. Steve is a 43 year old man who is living like a rock- n-roll teenager and his parents are worried about him. They stage an Intervention under the ruse of sending a documentary filmmaker to wants to chronicle Steve's music and career. Steve is introduced to a self-help guru and she sets Steve on a course for self-discovery -- or is it just a bunch of New Age hokum? This film will push your funny button until it's worn out. It's presented in a documentary style format. I highly recommend it. "Change Your Underwear, Change Your Life".

This is a very funny film. Steve Moramarco is unabashedly outrageous in telling a story that speaks to a lot of Gen Xer's in Hollywood who went there for the promise of fame and fortune and found instead anonymity and near despair. From his first encounter with the film crew his parents send to his house because his mother wants to get his hard luck story on an Intervention reality program through the intervention itself and its consequences, he puts a very humorous face on his ongoing disasters. I found myself laughing from the Rocky Horror Show inspired opening credits through the unique and unexpected conclusion. Very much worth seeing.
