Good satire on movie business, written and produced by producer Art Linson (e.g. Into the Wild, Yellowstone), and not really based on his book of the same name at all.
Producer Robert de Niro is struggling with the ending of prima donna British director Michael Wincott's film 'Fiercely', featuring Sean Penn - Exec Catherine Keener wants it changed. Also he's having trouble with a Bruce Willis film - he won't shave his beard and John Turturro doesn't have the guts to tell him. Whilst fending off problems everywhere, de Niro is struggling to maintain personal relations with ex Robin Wright Penn and eldest daughter Kristen Stewart. With Stanley Tucci. A good entry in the films-about-films genre, not as good as The Player but well worth a look.
