Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
Like a sputtering career, Ellie Parker pretty much goes nowhere, and it's difficult to imagine that it would be of interest to many beyond the Hollywood community.
– Robert Denerstein,

rotten:
The picture looks cheap and feels stretched.
– Eleanor Ringel Gillespie,
Atlanta Journal-Constitution,

rotten:
Eventually the energy of the original short runs out and the movie coasts on fumes, but it remains surprisingly enjoyable for all that.
– Ty Burr,
Boston Globe,

rotten:
The premise -- someone trying to inject meaning into a necessarily vacuous existence -- is depressing, but there are moments of vaguely uncomfortable hilarity. The whole endeavor, however, winds up feeling flat and a bit dull.

This is the movie they should show in college acting classes, instead of tapes of Inside the Actors' Studio.
