I got this DVD mainly because C.F. was supposed to be in it . AND HE IS but not until towards the end and as a Political manipulator. A small part. However the story line was a basically good Morality play and interesting to watch. Done as an "INDEE" with a limited budget, it still held your interest, and the production people made good use of all available sets and props. Basically , a hustler stumbles across a lonely ,older fellow who has a FANTASTIC! mimicry of celeberity voices that he has acquired over the years living alone with nothing but movies to keep him company. What then ensues is an escalating series of events that brings in money by the bucketfulls, however there is a moral issue with the scams involved that leads to a convoluted ending that ,yet, I found satisying. ALL in all, a good PG13 movie that the whole family can enjoy. A couple of questionable words, Acouple of staged scenec at the end ala Austi Powers type scene. But that's it. AND IT DOES ENTERTAIN!,Sincerely, LARRY "O" Pgh., Pa.

Trust Me is must see for any true afficionado of film and the film biz. The story line sends up the ecosystem of aspiring script writers, desperate actors, arrogant agents and most of all manipulative producers. A delightful perspective for any one who wants a light hearted alternative look at how movies really get made.

What bridges the cutting messages and the breezy feel is the charismatic and cavalier portrayal by Cory Pendergast as Danny the scam artist turned movie mogul almost in spite of himself.

Cory's big break is taking the character Joe - portrayed by the consummately talented impressionist Enn Reitel - literally from a parking lot gutter on a journey to fame and fortune. Joe hides his insecurities behind a veil of dead on impressions of countless signature movie lines (a great night's entertainment would be playing a sort of trivial pursuit identifying all the countless films Joe quotes).

The film is full of subtle subtext and references that should entertain any true connoisseur of American cinema.

Great movie. Lots of laughs. Cory Pendergast was teriffic and has some wonderful lines. Recommended.
