Plot

With his career on the skids, a Hollywood screenwriter enlists the aid of a modern-day muse, who proves to test his patience.

Sinekatalog’s take

A light showbiz satire where inspiration arrives with high-maintenance demands. Some sharp jabs at Hollywood vanity land, but the comedy is gentle and thin. A mild, amiable diversion for fans of dry, neurotic humour.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
