Movie review

From Time Out Film Guide

Written and produced by Charles Grodin, this is a flat look at Hollywood madness from an insider who might have been expected to muster a little more sardonic zest. There's some mild fun to be had as mogul Matthau buys the rights to best-selling how-to guide Love in Sex, then hands hack writer Grodin the unenviable task of turning it into a movie. Cameos from Martin and Radner, but straight to video in the UK.
