Hijacking Hollywood

"Hijacking Hollywood", a one-man-band indie, tells of a naive wannabee director (Thomas) who goes to Hollywood to break into show biz and takes a job as a gofor. He rooms with a more savvy Hollywoodite (Mandt) and together they hatch a scheme to hijack some film stock and hold it for ransom to get a stake for a movie they would like to produce. The film includes a lot of time spent on the gofor goforing on the freeways of L.A., stereotypical characters who are all gross exaggerations for comedic purposes, some clumsy token sex and nudity, and, believe it or not, a mildly entertaining story. Recommended for people in hospitals in full body casts or traction who can't get to the remote but need something to take their mind off the itching.

I LOVED this movie, It's about this kid that works as a PA on a movie called Moby Dick 2. His roommate Tad, works out a scheme to kidnap the film and hold it hostage for about $150,000, the jokes in this movie are really funny. Neil Mandt gives a great performance in this fine film. Just looking at him will make you laugh. I definitely recommend that you rent this one, you won't be sorry

This movie is absolutly brilliant, great cast , also great storyline. Henry Thomas once again gives a great performance as a young college grad, who goes to Hollywood for a P.A. job, and hopes to make a script that he wrote into a movie. Will he be able to do it? Will he survive his P.A. job?

Other great performances are given by Scott Thompson, and Niel Mandt. 10/10

Once again it is "revenge of the PAs" on a tired movie about movie makers and getting the movie deal. yawn.. I suspect the filmmakers thought this would be revenge on all the producers that mistreated them so. However, in the face of this drivel they should be banned from any set.

"Hijacking Hollywood" is an amazing film in my opinion. It's well written, well directed and the actors on it are just great! Henry Thomas is very much different than he was on E.T., but his talent remains the same. Scott Thompson is a great actor too, I know him since his work on Kids in the Hall, and I've always admired his work and his humour. Neil Mandt is an amazing director, and on this movie I guess he showed us all of what he's capable! Plus, his brother Michael had a part on the movie, and in my opinion, he was great too! I just wish I could watch more of Neil's films and shows, but it's hard to get something new in Brazil. All I know is that I loved this movie and I'm so glad to say it in here, after all it's not everyday that we see such an amazing director like Neil Mandt, who's also capable of acting, producing and being this great professional he is!
