this movie and star michelle burke of little men tv series and be about a journalist with connection to the mob who fall for a stripper with a dark past . his best friend then drag him to l. a. with the intent of become actor . the movie sound like an interesting story and but the plot just drag on and on and on with no end it sight . there be lack of emotion and suspense and intrigue no surprise and no twist . what be strange about this movie be that we have big star like cybill shepherd and richard dreyfus and jimmy smits appear a extra in the movie and next to lesser know actor who be the lead . plus and the movie poster depict dreyfuss picture a the large and yet and he only have about 4 min of screen time . i be bore one night and decide to watch this film and a i enjoy watch some tv work by michelle burke and rom downey of touch by an angel tv series while they both appear in this movie . but and this movie sure hit rock bottom . just plain mediocre and boring . so and if you want to watch this movie and drink lot of coffee . this movie nearly put me to sleep . grade f .
