The Reviews: |
"...the principal players come off as amusingly, chillingly and tellingly true to life. " -- Tom Shales, The Washington Post (June 14, 1999)
|
"[Peter Lefcourt] gives each character delicious lines and they clearly enjoy every bite. His is a cold and invidious version of the TV industry, but his characters are undeniable recognizable and he constantly uncovers the entire enterprise." -- Barry Garron, The Hollywood Reporter (June 16, 1999)
|
"...Tuc Watkins...is marvelous (and marvelously subtle) as a gay casting director, while Rudolf Martin, just another Eurotrash stud on [All My Children], is a wild delight as a piggy Russian mobster." -- Michael Logan, TV Guide (February 26-March 3, 2000)
