it be so refreshing to watch a comedy with no slap stick humor and only clever and funny dialogue . it be a joy to see from the beginning to end . the scriptwriter do not manipulate the audience and he draw them in with a great plot and many twist and turn . the scene in the library be a big surprise and and the end be totally unexpected . i do not think anyone know what would be in that suitcase . bill murray make a wonderful appearance a maurice in the party scene . i have a big chuckle watch him take home all that food . this movie take you into the private world of struggle actor desperate enough to risk friendship in order to get that big break in their career . although it all tongue in cheek i be willing to surmise the writing be base on true life experience . see it and you would not regret it .
