Movers & Shakers

About This Movie

Movers & Shakers is one of those quirky 80s comedies that really plays with the absurdity of Hollywood. You've got this studio head, Joe Mulholland, in a bind, trying to adapt a sex manual into a film. The pacing is a bit erratic, which adds to its charm, as we see Joe flounder between his ambition and the ridiculousness of the project. The atmosphere has this offbeat, almost satirical vibe about the film industry. Herb Dorman, the screenwriter, brings a certain energy that's both chaotic and refreshing. Performances are varied; some hit the mark, others feel a touch over the top, but that’s part of its oddball nature. It's distinctive for how it captures that era's film-making woes with a comedic twist.

Good for those who appreciate offbeat comedies.Interesting take on Hollywood's creative struggles.Check out the performances; they vary widely.
