Decent, interesting movie about the battle for the Tonight Show. However, while John Michael Higgins was good as David Letterman, Daniel Roebuck was fairly annoying as Jay Leno with his off-putting voice and plastic looking face.
I enjoyed this film. I found that the behind the scene elements of the story to be entertaining. The story kept me interested the entire way.
did a straight forward job of telling what happened I always thought it was gonna get ugly between the two and it really didn't I've got a newfound respect for the both of them, if it's all true that is
