You'll like this if you enjoy fast, dialogue-driven satire of the movie business and small-town disruption; Not for you if you want straightforward laughs, or if you’re uncomfortable with edgy material like Wag the Dog.
Pros: fast, sharp dialogue; small-town fun; strong ensemble | Cons: chaotic pacing; some dark subject matter; uneven humor
