Review of Queen of the Lot (2010) by Beverly K — 02 Dec 2010
Queen of the Lot: Rating 4.8 This movie is actually a sequel to Henry Jaglom's 2007 film Hollywood Dreams. Both films star Tanna Frederick as Maggie Chizek, a rising Hollywood starlet who grew up in Iowa ( Frederickson is from Mason City, Iowa and a graduate of the University of Iowa ) and is coming to understand the realities of life in Tinsel Town.
The film is very scattered, seems to emphasize improvisational acting a la Robert Altman films, and moves from comedy to love story to murder mystery to satire. We liked Noah Wyle is his role as a man who truly cares for Maggie, even as his manipulative brother discards her and there were some scenes that we enjoyed.
We were given access to a private screening of this film which enabled us to really focus on what the story/director was driving the audience toward - but there is no clear answer. If you enjoy getting a glimpse of the inside games of how Hollywood, with all its superficially, functions - you may enjoy this film.
Otherwise, stay away!
