Review of Going Down in La-La Land (2011) by Roxanne R — 15 Dec 2012
Once more Casper Andreas scores a major blockbuster with Going Down in La-La Land!! Oh my goodness, this movie will resonate with everyone who aspires to enter the back-stabbing, fickle, and tough as nails world of showbusiness.
Taking place in Los Angeles a young, attractive and penniless guy named Adam (Matthew Ludwinski) moves from NYC to LA with dreams of stardom (don't they all lol)..So Adam rents a room from his best friend Candy (Allison Lane) who lives with her boyfriend.
Candy's boyfriend is tired of supporting her when all she does is shop, hit the gym and fails to land auditions in Hollywood. So he breaks up with her and it is up to Candy and Adam to survive in La-La Land.
Adam has a rocky start in Los Angeles but thanks to Nick (Casper Andreas) he lands a production job at a porn studio. Will Adam become a star or end up being another victim of the boulevard of broken dreams like so many in La-La Land, a city known for chewing star wannabes up and spitting them out? Tinseltown's glitter sometimes is only ephemeral and ends up burning you if you are careless.
Bravo to Casper Andreas! I am a big fan of his films because they vividly portray our fears, insecurities, hopes and dreams. Watching his films equates to sitting down with a dear and faithful friend to hear a good story.
Definitely recommended and cheers to La-La Land, where dreams sometimes do come true!
