Greybrother D Felt a bit like a lazy, aimless knock-off of After Hours based around script writers. The humor and the dark, disagreeable tone mostly seem to cancel each other out. Near waste of a good and interesting cast. Eventually comes together and becomes mildly amusing in the home stretch, but not really worth it. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 08/23/24 Full Review Audience Member another 'inside look' pic this time TV writers Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Such a random unknown movie but I love it. There's a great cast and the situations they get themselves into over the course of one night are hilarious! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member What was intended to be a witty satire, turns out to be rather flat and not particularly funny. However, there are some good scenes. The cast is good, although I find Illeana Douglas irritating. Lacks bite, the direction is sloppy. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews
