David Duchovny stars as Mike Klein, a television show writer who hopes that his heartfelt new pilot that he wrote after his brother's suicide gets picked up for the fall season. But he has to deal with compromising his vision to the network executives' bottom line (ratings) if he wants to see it on the schedule.
Well acted, especially by Duchovny and Sigourney Weaver, if a bit black and white satire. Not as biting or pointed as I sensed that writer/director Jake Kasdan wanted it to or could've been, but entertaining and poignant enough to make it a good watch regardless. And is miles above his much better known, "Walk Hard"
My Grade: B-
