The reviews are so universally bad that they drew my curiosity. Despite being a competent production indeed the movie is a creative mess and a waste of talent. There is zero energy and chemistry between the not so likeable leads and their dialogue is terribly boring. The script feels like a lot of stacked ideas instead of being cleverly interlocked. The dog itself is wasted and just a device to move Jack next to Ellen.
If you are just curious just don't watch this movie. It's not even that bad to just laugh at it. I watched a faded 4:3 pan and scan print and it enhanced the experience in a bad way.

Everybody has that penultimate scene as their favorite. My favorite scene is the one where they are about to pass through a tunnel and the camera car stops chasing Nicholson's car and just parks on the side. After this we hear a siren and a dozed Maria Schneider delivers: "...the police". I could not believe my eyes. A convertible is also a great car to someone that don't want to be easily recognised *sarcasm*.
This movie itself is the real passenger as it rides on the prestige of its director. It is slow, boring, uninteresting, plotless and the performances are lethargic. Cinematography is great at certain points but a book can't be made only using pictures.
Nicholson does his best to incorporate the typical European dude wandering from scene to scene so prevalent among European directors.

Look at the poster. "Laugh!" It says. That is an ill conceived promotion material for this movie that is sold everywhere as a comedy when it's not. Viewers and reviewers get the wrong expectation and you see this huge amount of frustrated reviews. I didn't laugh once and I'm not mad.
It competently sells the illusion of a successful and a bomb act. We can see the increasing confidence of Sally's character as a performer and clearly see Hanks' confidence on-stage and inner turmoil as the movie goes.
The problem with this movie is that it's a small story in a sense that all we get are small victories and losses. I never felt that those characters were truly pursuing their passions by doing sacrifices. The polar extreme of this is De Niro's character in The King of Comedy, also struggling to break in this business.
It's a good movie, but incapable to make you laugh or cry.
