After losing countless movie roles to more bankable film stars, struggling actor Max Matteo (John Cassini) decides to take matters into his own hands by literally disabling the competition. Wielding the business end of a baseball bat against his actor foes, Matteo seems well on his way to landing the role of a lifetime. But, despite finding success and a pretty girlfriend (Molly Parker), Matteo learns that he must pay the price for his unrestrained ambition.

Audience Member Break a Leg" is a Hollywood insider comedy more charming and funny than most. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member It started strong, but grew weak. It picked up again, a bit, but it ultimately couldn't sustain itself. Can't say I disliked it, but I can't quite recommend anyone see it, either. Y'know? Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Uneven but likeable film, with a nice performance by John Cassini. He's well cast for the role. Good small role for Sandra Oh. The film has several very amusing scenes. Good to see jennifer beals, she is good in her role of a struggling actress. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews
