Hollywood is a callous, fickle and backstabbing land where producers do drugs, have promiscuous sex and use four-letter curse words like it‘s big and clever.
Meanwhile the greedy studio only cares about money and not the artistic integrity of a film. So what’s new?
What Just Happened tramples on this familiar territory. Robert De Niro plays hotshot movie producer Ben, who juggles his time between forcing a director to change the bleak ending of his latest film and getting Bruce Willis to shave his Grizzly Adams beard before he steps on the set of his next feature. As far as plot goes that’s about as good as it gets, and in the middle of that Ben is getting divorced and suspects his soon to be ex-wife may be sleeping with a friend of his.
