What Just Happened (2008) 7/10

Starring : Robert De Niro, Sean Penn, Catherine Keener, Bruce Willis, John Turturro, Robin Wright Penn, Stanley Tucci, Kristen Stewart
Director : Barry Levinson
Running Time : 100 mins

Hollywood producer Ben (De Niro) has a lot to deal with, from having a movie made with an ending no one likes and a dircetor unwilling to change, to a movie that won't even get made unless Bruce Willis can shave his beard off, and if that doesn't happened then Ben will get sued by the movie studio that employed him.

This is a very silly movie that takes a dark look at the world of Hollywood and how almost everyone there is permanently on the verge of losing everything. De Niro is his usual wonderful self in the lead role, with a fine cast of supporting actors that parody the industry perfectly, even with WIllis playing something of a diva.
