Tracey Ullman can make absolutely anything funny, and when she works with material straight out of show biz, she can't lose. Tracey Takes on... Movies, Vanity, Fame, three episodes (plus outtakes) from her Emmy-winning HBO series, traces her interconnected cast of characters' relationships with the Dream Factory and all its trappings. Faded star Linda Granger gets a taste of the bitter side of fame, stuntwoman Rayleen Gibson saves the day (again), and legal hotshot Sydney Kross gets a head-to-toe courtroom makeover; all of these mix Ullman's barely contained mania with a refined, mature sense of humor that lets the viewers find their own laugh lines amidst the all-too-real vignettes and conversations. Her characterizations are as detailed and biting as ever, mocking Yanks, Brits, and practically everyone else with studied ease and showing us all our most embarrassing moments writ large. Whether you've watched her avidly or have yet to experience her crazed genius, Tracey Takes On... Movies, Vanity, Fame will keep you coming back to the TV time and again. --Rob Lightner
