      Audience Member Michael Pressman's vanity project for his wife is given a boost by Alan Rosenberg's funny performance. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member I didn't expect much, but it turned out a decent low-key comedy. Very funny at times and great storytelling. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Not bad. I appreciate the sincerity in the film's intentions. It has a nice realistic style to it, the actors all do well. I found it just a little hard to get involved with the characters, the are well defined, but not particularly appealing. Worth a look though. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member meh.. its not funny cute.. just kinda cute Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Its an amazing take on a fantasic play, its a movie that shows what love actually is. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member Fora anyone working as an actor. Or director. Or in the theatre. Or television. Or "anyone in a relationship" like the back of teh dvd says... Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Wesley Morris Boston Globe It might be the first vanity project within a vanity project. Rated: 1/4 Jun 25, 2004 Full Review Carla Meyer San Francisco Chronicle Most entertaining is Alan Rosenberg's wicked spoof of actorly neuroses. Rated: 3/4 Jun 18, 2004 Full Review Jami Bernard New York Daily News A funny, tender, satisfying blend of fiction and cinema vrit. Rated: 3/4 Jun 11, 2004 Full Review James Verniere Boston Herald Rated: 2/4 Jul 3, 2004 Full Review Steve Rhodes Internet Reviews A wonderfully entertaining, hilariously funny and sweetly touching story. Rated: 3.5/4 Jun 16, 2004 Full Review Maitland McDonagh TV Guide The pleasant surprise is that it's often funny and unexpectedly engaging, in large part because Pressman knows better than to ask you to feel too sorry for the fictitious 'Pressman' and 'Chess.'
