    This is one of my favorite films in the past 50 years. It's fantastic. No one has ever heard of it but I watch it every year and have wondered why it's such a sleeper. LOVE this film.

      I am so with you, I've seen it , IDK, 15-20 times, get something out of it every time, LMAO EVERY time, appreciate Curtis Hanson, Rudin, Chabon, Clovis, & Toby who I'm usually not enthralled with, one of M.D.'s very best (along w/ The Game), all of the supporting actors, Downey is a scream; i could extol the virtues of this film for hours, apparently like a few others here & as evidenced by the very few likes, it's a sleeper aka a closet classic; no pun intended, IMNSHO

    I live in Pittsburgh and love this film...so much so that I've visited most of the filming locations several times. Most of them still exist today including Grady's home and his ex-wife's home located in Beaver county. I love taking fans of the film out there to see their reactions.

    One of my favorite films. One of my favorite books. The film didn't do well, because it's quirky, it moves along nicely, but there are no major dramatic moments. No one chews the scenery. It's about heady things. There's no tragedy. It's funny, but there are no crotch shots or stupid jokes. It's smart. It makes no attempts to be big or wildly cinematic. It's largely plotless. It's about the characters, but the characters aren't necessarily moving towards anything hugely dramatic. The dialogue is sharp, but often subtle. In other words, it's my kind of movie!

      I’m just wondering as I couldn’t quite figure it out at the end of the movie, does Terry (Robert downy junior) move to New York with James Leer and publish his book? Or does James go to New York by himself?

    This became one of my favourite films when I first saw it in 2000, and it still is to this day. I'm really happy Mr. Douglas considers it one of his best too, and I think it says something that when he receives a script, he doesn't read just his part, he reads the whole thing and decides if it's a good movie, not just a good part.

    One of my all time favorite films. I've seen it over twenty times. I own it and when I need a place to feel at home I watch it. So wonderful. The writer of the book, Michael Chabon, is also one of my favorite authors penning great fiction, non-fiction and finally working on Star Trek Discovery which, after reading his memoir 'Manhood for Amateurs' is especially sweet for him. Thank you Michael Douglas - 'Professor Tripp'. I tell everyone to watch it.
