Title: Brilliant
Product review: This movie most obviously benefits from a flawlessly written script and exceptional acting. The dialogue is written remarkably well and the entire cast (including Kevin Spacey, Sean Penn, Anna Paquin, Robin Wright Penn, Meg Ryan, and Garry Shandling) recites it with perfection, even through long and drawn out, yet very interesting conversations. The acting and direction makes the characters seem like real people, and we are merely onlookers viewing a small portion of their complicated lifestyles in the Hollywood upperclass. Sean Penn gives one of his best performances as Eddie and Kevin Spacey does a great job as the cynical Mickey, though he isn't given as much screen time as he deserves. Meg Ryan and Anna Paquin show up more as cameos, rather than actual characters, but they play their brief parts to perfection. If you can stand watching a movie that focuses on the characters and the story without any action or special effects, than this movie is worth watching.
