WHAT JUST HAPPENED?

A movie producer under is under stress while he tries to manage an out of control director while trying to save his marriage.


I enjoy films like WHAT JUST HAPPENED? It's a rare film that gives the viewer a glimpse into the real Hollywood...how films are made and how screwed up the business is. The film meanders a bit in the second act and the "surprise ending" which takes place at the Cannes Film Festival really isn't a surprise. Because of this, I think most people will give WHAT JUST HAPPENED? a thumbs down.

Jamie says "6". I enjoyed the back-drop and I always enjoy watching my favorite actor perform as Robert De Niro did a good job.

The best line from WHAT JUST HAPPENED? "Vanity Fair named me as one of the 30 most powerful producers in the business. Power is an elusive term, but in Hollywood it's everything, I don't care what they say, you either have it, want it, or you're afraid of losing it. Where you stand at these things, or who you may be standing next to, may not seem like the most important thing, but it *really* matters"
