Just saw the film


I thought it was a hilarious send-up on Hollywood and how an off-handed remark about a potential Oscar nomination can blow up in people's faces. Catherine O'Hara was incredible as a forgotten actress who thinks she's going to get an Oscar nod. I loved it when she had her face lifted so tight her face became a smiling void.

I thought it was the worst of all the Christopher guest movies. Not funny, except for Ricky Gervais and Jennifer Coolidge (SP?).

I didn't even realize she was supposed to have one until I read it on wikipedia.

Catherine O'Hara was incredible in this. Watching her reaction to losing was amazing--she was so Botoxed and plastic surgery overdone that she could only react with her eyes and it was heartbreaking. She's always been a terrific actress, but I actually was rooting for her to get a REAL nomination...but no.

Agreed. I was dismayed that O'Hara did not at least get a nomination. I think she's going to be one of those brilliant actresses who consistently gets overlooked by Oscar because they're not "serious." Just a crime.

Gervais wasn't really funny in this one. You thought so? What was a funny part with him?
Even if the movie consistently ranked lower than the other guest films, there were some funny parts --- just that he was not in any of them. Coolidge did have a couple of funny scenes.
