  • Summary: Terminally unemployed, dating challenged Rebecca thinks she’s scored her big break on Broadway by landing a job with the fickle Ian helping him manage the darling diva Simone. Instead of a dream job, Rebecca finds herself scrubbing floors while careening from one disastrous relationship to the next. When Simone confronts her, she “accidentally” shoves her down a flight of stairs. Suddenly a star is born as Rebecca takes over, but then a bigger Diva is brought in, The Great Greta. What to do? Kill your way to the top. (Indican Pictures)… Expand

    It's all sharp, well-performed stuff until things go from darkly comic to just plain dark, derailing -- and dragging out -- the otherwise absorbing story. Still, this one's a cut above.

    Marin Ireland makes a winning lead, but the script by helmers David Conolly and Hannah Davis ran out of gas in 2008, which is when the film was made.
