Critic Reviews

Mark R. Leeper, Mark Leeper's Reviews
Though some of the bits are funny, this is a film that would probably work for an insider in ways that might go right past an outsider.
Mike McGranaghan, Aisle Seat
There's some fun to be had, even if Cannes Man never achieves the bulls-eye brilliance of Altman's The Player.
Clint Morris, Moviehole
Richard Martini really knows Hollywood - if you're a fan of The Player, you'll love this. You'll see more stars in this than you will outside the window of a space ship!
Christopher Null, Filmcritic.com
