Reviews
"Adapted from Peter Lefcourt's novel, been-there showbiz satire begins with a joke about a rabbi, a producer and a recently converted black action star who come together to make a Jewish-themed blockbuster, with madcap results. Unfortunately, the characters seem to be doing all the laughing, while the general public has nothing to cling to but the horndog flirtation between mismatched leads William H. Macy and Meg Ryan -- hardly ideal ingredients for mainstream success." -Variety
