    Seducing Charlie Barker is a movie made by people who haven't been making movies, but should be. As in, often. As in, from now on.

    The storyline is hardly original, but it does provide the opportunity for Rebeck to unleash wickedly scathing observations about the sort of self-obsessed show business types who pursue their own interests no matter who it hurts.

    In adapting her recent play The Scene, Theresa Rebeck can't find a consistent tone for her material or players.

    An intermittently interesting but fatally clichéd comedy of personal and professional suicide.

    Charlie is a stereotype who doesn't know it--basically your typical broke dude in a near midlife crisis who thinks he's the first to have his dull problems.
