Awesome Movie

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Someone must have had a fun time thinking up the plot of this little flick. That someone may have felt that since there was no other good reason to make this film, he might as well set the story in Hollywood and have the characters be an unemployed actor and a lonely agent with nothing better to do than fall in love with her clients. I wonder if the filmmakers were possibly unemployed themselves at the time, which would be an enjoyable twist. In any case, had they had anything better to do, I doubt they would have made this movie.A man with bills to pay discovers thousands, then millions of dollars mistakenly deposited into his bank account. He decides to tell his bank. The film could have ended here, but the line is too long at the bank, so naturally he ends up spending the money instead. What follows is a thoroughly inexplicable chain of events with a plot twist of the sort that you really shouldn't think about too much. In the film's most clever development, the concept of acting takes center stage in the plot's resolution; all comes down to who can pull off the best performance.Along with decent acting, especially by Leslie Hope as the attractive, but cold lover and Patricia Clarkson as the shy, but warm friend, these meta elements are saving graces of an otherwise lukewarm and unattractive production.

Gregory Harrison was terrific in this movie. He stars as Scott, a broke acting teacher, who dreams of hitting the big screen. His former girlfriend Meg helps him, she is his agent. When the right job comes along a little mix up happens and Scott doesn't get there in time to get the part. His students can't pay him, he has very little money left and with the parking tickets he gets every other minute he can barely hold on to the studio since he is 3 months behind on his rent. When he meets Rachel, a shy waitress, who wants to take up acting lessons he first acts rude, but they later get together and start to date and at the same time 20,000 dollars are found in his account. Surprised Scott thinks it must be a bank error, but since he needs the money he decides to withdraw a little so he would pay back later. A few days later 10 million dollars end up in his account, his landlord ends up dead and he is being framed for the murder. When he tries to find Rachel he discovers that she isn't who she says she is. Using his talent as an actor Scott decides to get to the bottom of this even if it means risking his life. A very good movie with a confusing ending.
