"Zooming out further, we realize all the tropes, signs, and elements of this film want us to see. This movie wants us to poke holes in the way Hollywood does business. It wants us to see the pitch process, the recycling of ideas, the blame when movies fail, and the ridiculousness of it. When you finally realize this is a movie within a movie, everything before it clicks and makes perfect sense. "

"Brilliantly funny. Also an extra level of fun for movie fans, with constants riffs on cinema and film-making. "
John Gushue
"One of the perfect LA showbiz-y type films"
