"An overlooked gem."

It's one of my favorites. But with oscar nominations for best picture,actor,actress,supporting actor,original screenplay,cinematography and editing I don't think it can be considered overlooked. lol

I never tire of it. I've probably seen it 5 times or so since it came out in '87.

Hunter, Brooks, Hurt and James L. Brooks at the top of their game.

Best laught-out-loud moment: When the stagehand bangs up against the metal world map background, causing it to sway.

When I first saw it in the theater I had to go back and see it again. One of my all-time favorites.

I only bought it cos I heard Jack Nicholson was in it. As a film I'd give it 2 out of 10, I really didn't like it that much. I wish Jack had been in it for longer. It just didn't seem to have much of a story.

Here's a list of some great movies that have been made that do not have Jack Nicholson in them:

About 99.2% of the greatest movies ever made.

I don't know how many of them have a "story" though.
