Review: What Just Happened? (15)
Running time: 102 mins. Starring: Robert De Niro, Catherine Keener, Bruce Willis, John Turturro, Robin Wright Penn, Michael Wincott, Sean Penn, Kristen Stewart. Director: Barry Levinson.
Based on noted film producer Art Linson’s memoir, What Just Happened? satirises the inner workings of Hollywood, as seen through the eyes of a middle-aged producer suffering a crisis of confidence.
Robert de Niro stars as film producer Ben, embroiled in couples’ separation therapy with ex-wife Kelly (Robin Wright Penn), and struggling to complete a disastrous, controversial new film.
Cameos from Sean Penn and Bruce Willis, both playing themselves, fall flat, and with few laugh-out-loud moments, the credits can’t roll fast enough.
