The stars are Michael Keaton (Batman, Pacific Heights), Robert Downey Jr (Ironman, Less Than Zero), Ari Graynor (Holly Rollers), Catherine O'Hara (A Mighty Wind, The Nightmare Before Christmas), Bebe Neuwirth (Cheers tv, Fame), Griffin Dunne (Sam the Man, Broken English), Shalom Harlow (In and Out, The Last Romantic).
There is no real plot here. The situation is Keaton has a play opening on the same night as Game 6 of the 1986 World Series. For non baseball fans its a famous game when Buckner (Red Sox first baseman) lets the ball goes through his legs costing the Red Sox the game and they went on to loose game 7. Very important game in Red Sox history. His wife, O'Hara, is starting divorce procedings. A rouge critic, Downey Jr, is going to review the play. And he gets caught in a bar with an actor friend.
Im rating this movie as a C+ B-. I think its worth going to see. I think its a character study with interisting characters. It took me a while to get over the fact that there is no plot. If you can do that sooner than I can then you could like the movie more then I did.
