No, really..... why can't "Hollywood" make films of this caliber? This is just like, My Big Fat Greek Wedding, in terms of being a great film that relies on story, plot & acting to carry the film, not big name stars or big time special effects. I loved the movie and laughed all the way through. I only wish more people had had a chance to see it.

Hit and Runway is the story of two writers that come to work together through destiny. However, this is not your run of the mill story, as destiny works in mysterious ways to get its outcome.

This turned out to be a hilarious and well-written film with very intense and very real characters. From obsessive protagonists to homosexual jews., the characters are amusing from the beginning. Some scenes had the audience rolling in their seats, and others had the audience writhing in both fear and awe.

At any rate, this is a wonderful movie that will hopefully come to all theaters soon! Go see it if you get a chance!

What starts out on the level of "Kiss Me Guido" or "Just One Time" dares to actually go one level deeper. If Woody Alan would ever get in touch with his feminine side, he could have written this screenplay.

For film industry people, the plot, and its devices, requires a certain amount of suspension of disbelief at times (or at least the ability to close one eye occasionally), but the little surprises, twists and arcs will touch even the most jaded amongst us.

Very commendable performances by both Michael Parducci and Peter Jacobson.

Long live the indi film industry!

What a little surprise this one turns out to be!!!!Definitely a low budget Indie, but with lots of savvy and an extremely charming and clever script,HIT AND RUNWAY is an intelligent and humourous look at the seemingly unlikely partnership/collaboration of Alex,an Italian straight guy who teams with Elliot,a Woody Allenesque gay Jew to write a hit screenplay and leave their old,dull,meaningless lives behind.That is the premise of this film on the surface,but what the viewer gets is a perfectly charming 101 minutes full of extremely interesting twists and turns and frankly some really honest and good acting from Mark Parducci and Peter Jacobson in the principle roles who forge a positively comical bond and bring all of their talents to flesh out these two wannabes.With all of the fluff that churns out of Hollywood,HIT AND RUNWAY can undoubtedly be termed a real sleeper hit.Yes, the film is full of formula and stereotypes,but it's been a long time since this reviewer has seen that genre done so heartfelt.Is it a great film? Well, that is subjective.Is it an infectious and enjoyable and thoroughly entertaining and intelligent piece of cinema? ABSOLUTELY!!!

Great film!!! The relationship between the 2 lead characters
is funny and engaging. An extremely well written film. It's a must see.

A wonderful little film -- well-written and (for the most part) well-acted. I won't recount the plotline since many other reviewers have done so, but there are some terrific scenes and great laughs in this gem.

It's hard to pick out some of my favorite scenes and write about them because they will give away key elements of the movie, but suffice it to say that a seduction scene involving Yiddish being spoken is genuinely clever, funny, and will remain on my top 20 list for originality in the years to come.

Like many smaller films, there are no well-known names here which of course doesn't always equate to lack of acting talent. (In fact I think we all know of at LEAST one or two highly-paid personalities who exhibit little or no acting ability!) Peter Jacobson (Elliott) in particular deserves recognition. He could have gone way over the top with his role as a gay Jewish writer with low self-esteem and high libido, but he manages to bring his character down to earth at just the right moments.

All in all a memorable film that deserves to be seen. Support indie films and see/rent/buy this!

I was really surprised at how wonderful this movie was. I laughed histerically at moments and cried at others. Michael Parducci blew me away. I thought what he did with his character was so intriguing and riveting to watch. And the other actors were great as well.
Superb writing for the most part, at times a bit campy but the actors pull it off incredibly.
Good job, Chris Livingston.

I was in Blockbuster one evening perusing the previously viewed dvd section of the store. I came across this film, picked it up, put it back down and picked it up again. I don't know what compelled me to buy it since every instinct I had told me it would probably stink. And, I had a reputation to uphold of only watching cutting edge foreign and art house films. But, I must admit to really enjoying this exceptionally sweet story. It's enormously entertaining. Try it, you may just like it!

This is such a wonderful movie. It is too bad more people did not get a chance to see it. It was a smart, funny film. The writing is excellent and the characters are so engaging.

This is one of the funneist films I have ever seen. Don't disregard this film becuase of the lack of big hollywood actors, the actors do an excellent job, especially the lead, Michael Parducci. My whole family was involved in the making of this in one way or another. My uncle Jaffe Cohen wrote the script, my grandparents, parents, cousins and uncles were all extras and I had a speaking role, so take it form me this movie is worth watching.
