With but 2 features to their credit (am I the only one who’s never heard of The Last Romantic or Band of Robbers) the Nee Brothers, Aaron and Adam, convinced four of Hollywood’s biggest names (Bullock, Tatum, Pitt, and Harry Potter) to star in what is best described as Fabio …
Director Steven Soderbergh checks off another box on his list of genre pics. This time, it's the showbiz story, featuring a minor star with bigger dreams (Channing Tatum), a young up-and-comer (Alex Pettyfer), a sleazy manager (Matthew McConaughey), the perils of the party life, and all the rest of it. …
