So Alec Baldwin basically played himself?

An arrogant, self-obsessed, condescending Tinsel Town twit that treats people like crap. Brilliant casting choice.

Yes, and if a script ever needed a self-aggrandizing pseudo-critic to play a small bit part you could do it well and pick up a nice paycheck, just as Baldwin did in this movie!

It is a great world of opportunity, isn't it?? 

It sure is! Luckily I have too much integrity.

Let someone wave $1 Million at you for a small role and we'll see how much "integrity" you have!!

Agreed. I think Julia Roberts was probably playing herself as well. Wouldn't doubt for a sec that Roberts has a fiery temper.

Baldwin playing an overbearing asshole was perfect casting.
