Hollywood meets academia in this mild-mannered comedy written, directed by and starring nice guy Alan Alda. A film crew descends on a small North Carolina college town to turn a history professor's scrupulously accurate novel about the American Revolution into big screen entertainment. The professor assists the maniacal screenwriter with on-set rewrites, struggling to keep the vulgarity quotient down, but still finds time to pursue the film's luscious leading lady. [More]

Reviews for Sweet Liberty
OK light comedy, directed by and starring Alan Alda, about filming of movie in small town.
A sweet, funny comedy about the perils of being a writer and making a movie. An underrated charmer.
