It's unafraid of the consequences of its existence, and it's brutally nasty , offensive, and abrasive. In other words, the kind of comedy they used to make in the 70's before things became politically correct.

Consensus: A witless Hollywood satire whose hammy, obvious jokes are neither funny nor insightful of the movie business.

This jab at Hollywood seems close in subject matter to another title credited to Alan Smithee, Bloodsucking Pharaohs in Pittsburgh.

a film more noteworthy for its title’s lack of commas than for any other asset

Pity everyone involved with this excessive, ego-driven 'satire' of excess and ego. It's too bad that only directors can remove their names from noxious material like this.

It's truly as bad as everyone says. I went in to the flick wanting to like it, so I could argue with all the naysayers. Experiment failed.

A hollow, tedious (even at 86 minutes it's long), and dated inside joke (constant references to Michael Ovitz and the Japanese might have been funny in `95), that probably will not translate to audiences that are not employed in the movie business.

Although it's wildly uneven, this satire on the movie business, which was written by Joe Eszterhas, is peppered with uproarious touches.
