| ♥♥♥♥♥ | Every once in a while, the critics miss one. |
| For Just Write, it's easy to see why. What could be more far-fetched than a plot where an underachiever who got "D's" in English and who's a terrible speller - now has to produce a top-notch screenplay if he hopes to hold onto the girl of his dreams?
Not much, you'd think, but Director Andrew Gallerani hits the high points so skillfully it just doesn't matter. The setup might be goofy, and sure, we've seen the plot turns before, but somehow this one makes them seem fresh again. It all clicks, and to our surprise and pleasure the sum becomes much greater than the total of the pieces. Simply put, this one is a delight from start to finish. Six stars for casting. The principles, up-and-coming actress Amanda Clark (Sherilyn Fenn), and tour bus driver Harold McMurphy (Jeremy Piven), have great chemistry in their scenes. JoBeth Williams was made for her role as agent Sidney Stone. Diminutive Wallace Shawn is great as crusty, high-powered agent Arthur Blake, and so is Stephanie Miller as his caustic Personal Assistant. Yeardley Smith plays Lulu and her scene with Harold's dad (Alex Rocco) works to perfection. Kudos to the production staff. This one's a keeper.
