This has all of the magic of a silent film from the golden age of movies, combined with the cinematography of today. In the old movies there were long shots of the artists faces, now they focus on crowd reactions and interactions. This is a combination of Singing in the Rain meets Sunset Blvd, so for me it was darn near flawless. I am going to give this movie a solid five stars. I watched this with my kids and they all enjoyed it; it is rated R because someone flipped the bird, and for a attempted suicide scene with a gun that is played out funny but took some explaining to the kids. What these actors do with their faces and bodies to tell the story is beautiful and well worth your time. During a year when there were several sequels and remakes this was a refreshing movie to watch.
