the first 30 minute of tinseltown have my finger teeter on the remote and poise to flick around to watch something else . the premise of two writer and down on their luck and living in a self storage space bin be mildly amusing and but and painfully bland . the introduction of the character and play by joe pantoliano the big deal movie guy and that live in the park and sleep in a lavatory and offer hope and i decide to give it a few more minute . and then a few more until kristy swanson introduction a a budding film director and borderline nymphomaniac and add a bit of spice . her solid acting performance raise her presence above and beyond just a very welcome eye candy inclusion . ultimately and the obvious low budget impact on the film with poorly shot scene and stuttured pace and slapstick handling of certain moment . some of my favourite movie of all time have be low budget and whithnail and i be one that also deal with 2 guy with a dream and but down on their luck . however and for my money and the actor save tinseltown from the terrible movie archive and just about nudge it into the could have be a cult movie archive . i laugh out loud at some of the scene involve joe pantoliano character . in particular and the penultimate scene in the terribly clichéd and but still funny and rich but screw up character house and where the story unravels towards it final moment . i can see how tinseltown be a great stage play and while the film maker do their best to translate this to celluloid and it simply do not work and while i laugh out loud at some of scene and one liner and i think the first 30 minute dull my sens and expectation to such a degree i would have laugh at anything . unless youre stuck for a novelty coffee coaster and do not pick this up if you see it in a bargain bucket .
