Scott's Review:
3 out of 5 stars on June 5, 2002

It seems that everyone who plays a role in this movie for more than five minutes in this movie is a big name you've heard of. It really works well, which is surprising.

The movie itself is about the production of a play, "Nothing On", and the last minute madness that goes on behind the scenes both before and after the start of its run.

It feels like it's a two scene movie. I really can't remember any other scene than two basic scenes, so it very well might be literally only two scenes. Basically the first Act of the play is dealt with in rehearsal, then what one assumes to be the worst night when it plays in front of an audience. I really enjoyed it, but it's not for everyone. The action never really stops. It's almost like watching one hour forty minute version of Sports Night. When it works, it's incredibly funny to watch, but when it doesn't work, it can be a bit too much.
