LoginWho the hell is Lake Bell? I mean, I actually know who she is, I have seen her in a few movies but most of them were rather weak and even though she always seemed to have some potential, she was always stuck with some forgettable small parts. Well, maybe that’s why she decided to write, direct, produce and play the main character in this movie. Eventually, her bet paid off as this movie turned to be critically quite successful and you might wonder where her career will go from there. Anyway, I finally watched the damned thing and even though it was nothing really ground-breaking, I turned out to be a decent watch. Basically, what works the most was actually Lake Bell herself. Indeed, instead of her usual supporting roles that she gets, here, she was finally at the center of this tale and her quirky charm worked wonders. I also wonder how she came up with this idea to make a movie about the voice-over business which was an interesting idea but, at the end of the day, I’m afraid it was not really such a fascinating profession. Concerning the other characters, they were not bad but I can’t say I really cared for any of them. Anyway, to conclude, in spite of its flaws, I thought it was pretty good and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre.

Lake Bell is impressive, with taking on the producing writing directing and acting roles... but the impressive cast only mildly entertains. Actually, Rob Corddry gives what is possibly his best, most realistic performance. So that's something.

A perfect little movie with the good cast and performances. Many experienced actors taking chances in direction field and most of them had tasted the success. Good story won't do everything, managing cast, crew and the locations are the key to bright best out of them. It was not a smash hit movie, but Lake Bell should be proud and happy for carving a movie like this in her first attempt as a director. She really did a wonderful job here in all the three departments, including as a writer and in a lead role.
Well, when it comes to the concept, it was simple as well good enough to entertain the audience. The movie was about the dubbing artists, especially who render their voice for the movie promos. As far I remember in those movies I had watched I never saw a story belong to people from this field, it was first. So that might a another reason the movie to cause interest in me.
The movie revolves the story of father-daughter relationship. A father who never stood for her and a daughter who fought hard to claim a better position in life. Apart from these two, subplots like romance and relationship between two sisters played a crucial role in the movie's main plot. Well materializes from the women's perspective and their issues in the world of men. A woman oriented movie that can deliver inspiration for many.
6.5/10
