"What Just Happened"

Shockingly dull movie, considering the cast and the storyline. Not sure how they managed to take two weeks in the crazy life of a Hollywood producer, and produce such a snore. The main point seems to be that creativity is squelched in the Hollywood movie-making process (what a revelation!), but the two characters who most represent creative integrity in the film (the Actor and the Director) are complete assholes who act cruel and crazy. It's such a muddled message, and everyone in the movie is so unappealing and unsympathetic, that you walk away just shaking your head. Should have been smart, sharp and fun, instead it's a waste of time (well, maybe not a complete waste - the performances are good, especially Catherine Keener as the ball-busting studio head).
