David Kolowitz (Reni Santoni) is a young man working for Mr. Foreman, but he wants something more... he wants to become an actor. One day after the job he goes to an audition and struggles to become an actor even tho he has even less talent than Tommy Wiseau or Paris Hilton combined!
This is an unfunny and slow-paced film. It looked like hours passed before something even remotely funny happened. But what irritated me most was how unfunny the movie was for most of the time. David is a bad actor and we are supposed to find it funny because a girl (Janet Margolin) even falls for him. But the jokes are so lame and they fall so flat that it makes you hate his character even more. While I don't look for genius in comedy, this kind of humour is irritating and shows a lack of respect for its audience. The same can be said about the pacing: they knew that they had a bad movie but didn't care. And how such respected thespians like Josè Ferrer and Shelley Winters got dragged in this atrocity, I really wonder if the producers had their loved ones held at gunpoint!
The worst moment in the movie? It could have been when David was returning home and his parents suspected he was doing something wrong. However I can't say this for sure because about 80% of the movie I gave up and I turned it off... it was THAT bad. And if you want to know it, I almost always watch all of the movies I rate or review and I leave them only about 99.50% of the time.
