Anyone who has ever experienced the idealism that comes with the decision to be an artist will love this film. Zac Efron is surprisingly charming as a young actor trying to find himself and his direction as he finishes high school. Alex McKay is nothing short of perfect as Orson Welles - we love, hate, and always revere him just as the cast and crew do. Claire Danes was decent, but her role could have been played with a little more sadness, especially since she is the reality check in the film. She is truly sleeping her way to the top, and although she makes no apologies, her reasoning should be addressed. Overall, though, I would recommend it to any of my friends.
