Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaFilmed as a musical with eight songs by Prince, Sinéad O'Connor, and Carole King. Following poor test screenings, all but one of the songs - and all of the movie-musical-style production numbers - were removed from the film, and James L. Brooks wrote new scenes and did three days' worth of re-shoots to transform the film into a more traditional studio comedy. Only "You are the Best," written by King and including an end-credits version sung by her, remains in the final cut of the film.
- Quotes
Matt Hobbs: Washington? Washington, boy, that must have been a big adjustment.
Nan Mulhanney: It wasn't that bad. Both places have a lot in common: Over-privileged people, crazed by their fear of losing their privileges. Alcoholism. Addiction. Betrayal. The near total degradation of what once were grand motives. The same spiritual blood-letting. I kind of do miss the seasons, though.
- Alternate versionsA few shots were cut from the original R-rated version to receive a PG-13 rating.

Featured review
I saw this movie recently on cable TV and liked it a lot . I was looking for something other than the usual action/shootout/special effect types and ended up selecting this one. I'm glad I did. The supporting actors were excellent and Nick Nolte & Whittni Wright were outstanding in their roles. It was refreshing to see Nolti do this type of thing, although I'm not surprised that he did it well. He's an actor who has, over time, honed his skills to an art form. I'm not sure that he is appreciated as much as he should be. Anyway, in my opinion, "I'll do Anything" is underrated here. I give this flick a high mark and hope that my participation in the "vote" will raise the average score of this fine movie. For those who have had their fill of movies that focus on violence, try this delightful James L Brooks production for a change of pace. Or if you simply want to watch a movie that entertains... go for this one.
