From the start we know the narrator, TV writer Billy Ziff, has torpedoed his own great success. The only questions are how and why. Ziff early on develops a gnawing ulcer. New in Hollywood, he seems bound for failure until his creation of the gushingly good Father Joey makes him an overnight sensation.
But troubles sooon set in. His star and former best friend, Tony Paris, begins meddling in every aspect of production. Tony whines, he rages, he sulks, he womanizes. His demands grow ever more outrageous as the price of offending him skyrockets.
Director has a biting wit that never flags and a visual acuity that ranges from slapstick to horrific. A painfully funny look at TV values and the meaning of "success."
