the directing be brilliant and the casting be remarkable ( though i would have love to have see a little more of aaron lustig ( from y and r fame ) and who play paul shaffer ) . i only have two minor quip about the film and as subtle a they be . one roebuck leno be excellent and but his stage presence ( i. e. during what appear the taping of one of his late show episode ) be a tad underwhelming . two the distribution of the foul language . i be willing to tolerate foul language and so long a it be not use gratuitously and and to a degree and the film be gratuitous . the language seem to be use a a tool to reduce the pathos of bates otherwise well portray kushnick by her frequent use of it and and serve to make roebuck leno a goody goody by his lack of use of it ( of course and if the character really do behave this way and kudos to everybody ) . nonetheless and the piece be an excellent one and as far a television and video be concern . the film and i feel and have potential for the big screen and but would have require re cast for the bit part and and probably a different director and as well ( the aesthetic feel be that of the larry sanders show and good for hbo and mediocre for cinematic purpose ) .
