Synopsis
James L. Brooks' showbiz comedy I'll Do Anything is "The Musical That Almost Was" (after test screenings Brooks removed all the musical numbers in the film, turning the film into a songless romantic comedy). Matt Hobbs (
Nick Nolte
) is a hardly working actor who finds himself raising his 6-year-old daughter Jeannie (Whittni Wright) after her mother Beth (
Tracey Ullman
) is sent away to prison. Since Matt now has to support a daughter, he has to develop more regular work habits. As a result, he takes a job as a chauffeur for a
William Castle
-inspired schlockmeister named Burke Adler (
Albert Brooks
). As Adler develops a relationship with divorced test-marketing researcher Nan Mulhanney (
Julie Kavner
), Matt becomes romantically attached to beautiful development executive Cathy Breslow (
Joely Richardson
). ~ Paul Brenner, All Movie Guide
