The Deal

Witness the near train wreck of a process for making a film, but it manages to stay just interesting and odd enough to be worth watching. Meg Ryan and William Macy are in an unlikely romance, but somehow it works. The story is all over the place, chaotic and unpredictable. It seems that at any moment their movie production will end in disaster. Despite the crazy story, it is a wild ride for getting to their final wrap, and to find out if their romance will endure. Entertaining and different.

Story about a disallusion filmmaker (William H. Macy) and his attempt to make something of himself. If you like the actors William H. Macy and Meg Ryan, you will probably like the movie for them, although you will be disappointed by the lack-luster rolls into which these stars have fallen. It's certainly not great, possibly not even good, but it isn't bad.

This movie is very bad. William H. Macy is a good actor, and sometimes it's funny here. But it is very little, the rest is all very silly.

Surprisingly funny, but definitely has that straight-to-DVD feel it just doesn't really know what it wants to be. Mildly enjoyable to watch but still passable.
