"I recently bought the DVD of the Deal because I'm a fan of William H Macy's. I was not disapointed in this Hollywood spoof featuring a strong cast of Macy, Meg Ryan, Elliot Gould, and a hilarious apperance from LL Cool J. The film was not released in theaters, so luckily it is now available in DVD and blu ray. Check it out. "

"Spout received some copies of this film, and I was asked if I would like one to review. Because I have a high respect for William H. Macy, I said ok and, thus, will forego the test for this entry. I think Mr. Macy is an amazing character actor who is very good at being a chameleon, and without reading too deeply into the premise of this film, I was sold by his presence in it and by the fact that he also co-wrote the screenplay. I thought it had potential to be pretty funny, because I think Mr. Macy has a great gift for humor, particularly irony and sarcasm, based on characters he has previously played (Fargo, anyone?). Also, while Meg Ryan is not my favorite actress, I don't dislike her either. Her films have been, on average, pleasant, and no one can argue that she is not well suited to romantic comedy. Therefore, The Deal could have been quite the steal--except that it turned out to be boring and predictable and true to its formulaic genre. What's worse, I never laughed on ... "

"What better way to get in the mood for the double-barrelled shotgun blast of Sundance and Slamdance than by entering to win one of five copies of The Deal on DVD. Here’s what the movie is all about: A struggling film producer (William H. Macy) teams up with a beleaguered studio executive (Meg Ryan) who is forced to make a doomed action movie with him in which their mercurial star (LL Cool J) seems determined to finish their careers. When their action hero is kidnapped and the studio abruptly shuts down the movie, the mismatched pair conspire to keep the cameras rolling at the studio’s expense – and reluctantly fall in love in the process. Visit the movie’s official website to find out more and watch the trailer as well as clips from the film. Getting your copy is pretty easy. Since The Deal is all about the inner-machinations of Hollywood, we want to know what your favorite movie set in Hollywood is 1. Bowfinger (

"On Monday, I’m heading down to the Sarasota Film Festival, which begins this evening with opening night film, The Deal. A ton of Spout favorites from recent festivals will be screening at Sarasota over the next ten days, including Medicine For Melancholy, Natural Causes, One Minute to Nine, The Pleasure of Being Robbed, and Yeast. The Festival is also premiering a doc (which I have not yet seen, and which will unfortunately not be screening while I’m in town) called All God’s Children, directed by former Reeler TV producers Scott Solary and Luci Westphal. Here’s a look at some of the stuff I’m planning to check out whilst in Florida:
