5.0 out of 5 stars This film is smart & funny!, March 18, 2005

This film is a modern-day spin on "The Emperor's New Clothes", and it is extremely well-written & well-done. It is smart, biting, relentless, and funny. This is the movie that "The Player" was trying to be... but this movie is actually effective at breaking through to the audience, while "The Player" alienated itself from its audience by using too many "inside jokes". I was lucky enough to catch this fantastic movie while it was in limited release in Los Angeles, and went back to see it 3 times because I enjoyed it so much. I'm excited about this DVD release of "New Suit", because I want to hear the commentary track with the writer, who seems particularly astute at knowing what really happens behind-the-scenes in Hollywood. I highly recommend this film. Particularly if you ever wanted to be involved in the entertainment industry, this movie may make you think twice about those dreams!

5.0 out of 5 stars Hilarious! An Absolute Delight!, March 23, 2005

"New Suit" takes an old idea and sets it on its ear. Then it stomps on it!

While most of the cast is comprised of lesser-known actors, not one performance from any actor is less than first rate. The script is witty and clever, without ever taking itself too seriously (something too easily and too frequently done) and comes off smart without being petty or bitter. Everybody wins here - at least they think they do (we, and Kevin Taylor know better!)

More than just that, everyone involved in this project seems to be having the time of their lives.

As Kevin Taylor, Beau Bridges' strikes just the right balance between idealistic young screenwriter and jaded, seen-and-heard-it-all weary office drone. A simple lunch break prank to teach a lesson to some know-it-all sycophant co-workers spins horribly out of control developing a life of its own and takes Tinseltown by storm. The ensuing chaos, desperation and Kevin's attempts to rectify the situation will result in varying laugh levels from chuckling out loud, to all out thigh slapping hysteria.

What a gem of a movie.

5.0 out of 5 stars "The Player" Lite, March 17, 2005

This review is from: New Suit (DVD)

This indie really knocked my socks off in theaters (when it was in limited release) and I'm SO glad to see it out on DVD so now even more people can enjoy it. It's a scathing and hilarious exposé of Hollywood inanity, told with creative flair and a snarky wink. The performances are good, but the writing is where this movie really shines. You can tell the screenwriter Craig Sherman knows what he's talking about, has "been there ... done that," yet still manages to keep his head on his shoulders and maintain a sense of humor about it all. Lots of extras on this DVD, too. If you like to follow (and make fun of) the Hollywood machine, then check out this impressive film... it deserves to get noticed!
