Hollywood Ending
2002
**
Director: Woody Allen
Cast: Woody Allen, Tea Leoni, Mark Rydell, Treat Williams, Debra Messing

A washed-out movie director gets one more chance to helm a big budget Hollywood gangster film. Unfortunately all the stress, both private and professional, make him go temporarily blind. The idea of Woody Allen poking fun at Hollywood is a mouth-watering prospect, but the whole premise is preposterous and over-egged. Clumsy physical comedy and awkwardly unfunny set pieces don't help either.
