Movie Review: Pittsburgh


I loved this movie... and it had me wondering what was real and what wasn't. To secure a green card for Jeff Goldblum's Canadian fiance he's agreed to do a 2-week regional theater production of The Music Man in his Pennsylvania hometown. Now he's faced with grueling rehearsals, a furious agent, good friends (Ed Begley Jr. and Illeana Douglas) with their own troubles whom he's convinced to costar, and the very real prospect of a song-and-dance disaster. Moby, Conan O'Brien, Alanis Morissette, Craig Kilborn, Tom Cavanaugh, and Skip E. Lowe appear in this real-life 'mockumentary' about one Hollywood superstar's public fame and private life colliding head-on in Pittsburgh. Art and life continuously roll back and forth in this comedy that documents Goldblum's real experience with musical theater and his ability to poke fun at life in the limelight. I give this 4 stars and recommend it for just a pure fun viewing.
