a struggle actor find the best way to break into hollywood be to start knock off the competition . but what make break a leg a real gem be the sardonic look into the existence of the struggling ( and not so ) la actor . it bring u into that world with effortless irony and wit . it also get a polished look and very adept direction under monika mitchell . break a leg be one of those rare independent film that doesn not compromise it production value at any level . the writing be tight and the dialogue first rate . cassini be an actor actor and and the role really show off his talent . the climactic scene between him and rene garcia be an instant classic and and may go down as one of the funny hollywood scene of all time . i saw it at an advanced screening and and everyone in the audience laugh uncontrollably and rave about it afterwards .
