What Just Happened (15)

Tinseltown takes another witty sideswipe at itself and DeNiro, Penn and Willis join in

Director: Barry Levinson
Starring: Robert De Niro, Sean Penn, Catherine Keener, John Turturro
USA, 2008, 1 hour 42 minutes

Fri 3 April 8.00pm - Ledbury Market Theatre

De Niro plays a successful middle-aged producer with one eye on satisfying the studio boss and the other on artistic integrity as he juggles the demands of two ex-wives, preening 'talent', a slimy agent and other specimens from the Hollywood menagerie. The script is sharp and the ensemble cast a treat: Bruce Willis and Sean Penn send themselves up nicely. Like The Player and Wag The Dog is an extremely funny addition to the fertile tradition of Hollywood poking fun at itself.

"The sharpest, funniest comedy in ages. Don't miss it!" The Mirror
