    Boring lead and weak script. Visuals aren't bad. Too disjointed to enjoy.

    May not make the splash it should; films about moviemaking rarely do. And that would be a shame, because the contrasts the director sets in motion and keeps playing against each other make an entertaining wrestling match.

    Coppola's satirical debut movie is too ambitious for its own good. The cast is good, though, and ambition isn't the worst fault a fledgling filmmaker can have.

    It may not be art, but it's vastly more entertaining than anything Coppola senior has done in far too long.
