  • Summary: What happens when you're an actor and you get a secret audition with Martin Scorcese? If you're Johnny (Costanzo), who makes a living playing television hit men and corrupt cops, this could be your big break. But when his struggling actor friends Dorian (Tenney), Steve (Arkin) and Armand (Strathairn) find out about the audition, there's no telling how far they'll go to see Scorcese and keep it a secret from Jimmy.

    An entertaining, clever look at the backstabbing actors do in search of recognition and fame. (Review of Original Release)
  2. 50
    Not even amusing cameos from Bill Murray as a freeloading producer and Michael McKean as a proctologist can keep With Friends Like These... from being as minor as the film careers of its two-bit protagonists. (Review of Original Release)
  3. The movie works as well as it does ­because the cast knows the material so ­intimately.
  4. 50
    Only sporadically amusing.
