Info

Diane Blaine has the face of a movie star. Unfortunately, fallen star/tabloid queen Jamie Stephens already made it famous. Hollywoods constant rejection due to what Diane refers to as "TJS" ("Too Jamie Stephens") has made her bitter, frustrated....and, yes, whiny. Co-worker/boyfriend Jack Sanders doesn't help matters. His idea of ambition is letting it ride. Now he's in major debt to a trigger-happy mobster who, interestingly enough, has a thing for Jamie Stephens. Jack's only way out? Convince Diane to be Jamie and wipe out the debt having one meal with a made man. It's literally the performance of her life. With Jack's on the line.

Hollywood & Wine Audience Reviews

GamerTab That was an excellent one.
Megamind To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.
Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
Michael Ledo The Amazon write up pretty much tells the basic unrealistic plot, which is immaterial to the comedy. Nicky Whelan, the only real bright spot of the film, plays Jamie Stephens / Diane Blaine. Diane is attempting to break into the film industry but looks too much like Jamie Stephens to get cast. Along with her jealous boyfriend Jack (Chris Kattan) they work at a restaurant which has a new owner, Jean Luc Marceau (Jeremy London). London plays the role like Brendan Frasier with a bad accent. Diane used to pose nude for Jean Luc when she was in Paris. The movie takes some even more unrealistic turns when the mafia gets involved.David Spade plays a talk show host, providing us with some early humor. The movie was not well scripted. It managed humorous scenes, such as Diane's junk food binge, but not laugh out loud funny. At times the humor sunk to low levels, although we have seen worse. Collen Camp adds to her outlandish roles.F-bomb, brief sex, sex talk, nudity (Josie Goldberg, Tabitha Taylor, Meriah Nelson, Jessica McClain, Kristeen Reimnitz, Lexi Baxter, Nicole Oring)
sandcrab277 Too much budget wasted on useless performances by a cast of many losers like chris kattan, david spade and norman mcdonald to name a few....trying to be funny is a far cry from actually being funny which is why this film is a disaster...the eye candy was thrown in to keep you from getting bored along with the sexual innuendos and language that caused this film to have an r rating...using nudity tastefully could have done it better...
Elizabeth I adore Chris Kattan. But I generally don't have high expectations for his movies. This one surprised me and left me in hysterics the whole time from his cuteness particularly in the first half to Norm MacDonald's sleaziness and the raunchiness of making a porn scene and other SNL alum such as Horatio Sanz, David Spade & Chris Parnell. Was also great to see Kattan work with Chazz Palminteri again, as they did in a Night at the Roxbury, but this time Palminteri's not such a friendly guy! Nicky Whelan was fabulous playing two roles. So if you're a goofball and looking for something to watch, I recommend this. Just make sure there are no kids in the room!
businessgypsy Stuck in Antwerp on a rainy day when this film appeared, oddly, on the Prime Network "family" channel. While absolutely not kid friendly, I found this film a well paced recreation of classic screwball comedies, from Bringing Up Baby to The Owl and the Pussycat.Surprising cast, clever cameos. All the female eye candy is smart and tough, not victimized and in need of rescue. Nicky Whelan is my new favorite as the pragmatic Diane Blaine. Norm MacDonald's character Sid delivers a classic running deadpan joke that rivals "The Aristocrats" for filth and fun. Not high art, but a real good time that doesn't patronize or front.I'd be surprised if something in this movie didn't offend you, but more surprised if it didn't simultaneously make you laugh. A bit of an inside joke for those of us who have lived in or around Hollywood and are familiar with the weird business of getting entertainment work, but not so much that other viewers will mind. If you have a couple of hours to have some harmless (but decidedly adult) fun, check out Hollywood and Wine.
