1248 - The Big Picture


I actually had a hard time finding an image for this film. I needed a distraction while waiting for e-mails and phone calls to come in today, so I decided to watch something I hadn't seen and remembered this film I bought years ago in a discount bin. It's an early film from Christopher Guest, and the good news is that Guest, like a fine wine, got better with age. This isn't a bad film, but it's dated for sure. Picture an 80's version of Entourage, with a twinge of satire. Teri Hatcher has fantastic 80's hair here, almost as big as the music.
It's worth seeing if you like Guest, and especially if you like movies about filmmaking, but you might not be in on the satire if you don't have a little knowledge about the process.
