If I hadn't been with a friend, trapped in the middle of a row in the theater where I saw this movie, I would have left within the first five minutes. As a New Yorker working in the media industry, I was insulted and disgusted. I've worked with a lot of writers, editors, and publishers, some of which were mentioned in this movie, and they are nothing like the ones portrayed here.
Sure, the cast is great and acting excellent, but the premise, story, and plot is a big fat "0." The formulaic writing kept the shallow characters going around in predictable circles. How interesting and exciting for them.
I regret that I wasted $10.50 and two hours (plus thirty minutes of ads and previews) on this movie.
