Disaster strikes when a producer (Matthew Modine) tries to make a film with a has-been director (John Neville) and a psychotic actor (Alan Bates).

Toronto Star

A curious artifact: A movie about an era that produced scores of movies most people never saw, and arriving nearly a generation after most people never saw them.

Rated: 2/5

Hollywood North loses bite, first by being exactly the kind of movie it satirizes and by being so dated.

A forgettable fluffy Canadian film about runaway production during the heady days of Tax Credit filmmaking in the late 70s.

There isn't a lot that is original about <i.Hollywood North, but Modine is appealing as the put-upon producer and the situation the hapless Meyers finds himself in is very funny.

Rated: 3/4

...the movie seems content to simply exist as a wacky comedy (how else do you explain the presence of Alan Thicke?), which is somewhat disappointing.

Rated: 2.5/4

There were some funny moments. I like movies that involve seeing the makings of a movie. But the plot was a bit of a disaster and boring.

I didn't find the cast very appealing, it's a so so mock of movie making. Some very slow stretches big the film down, but it does have it's moments.

I didn't expect much from this movie, and it was a bit annoying at first, but it turned out not so bad, and I actually enjoyed it.
