An Alan Smithee Film: Burn, Hollywood, Burn

1998 · 86 min

A chaotic, self-mocking Hollywood satire that feels like an inside joke stretched thin, amusing but messy.

Overview: Filmmaker Alan Smithee finds himself the unwilling puppet of a potentially bad big budget action film, for which he proceeds to steal the reels, and leaves the cast and crew in a frenzy.
How it feels: Satirical, absurd, cynical and campy. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Media, art, corruption, celebrity
Content: Strong language. Mild violence and sexual content. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
