Man about Town plot
"Welcome to the deep end of a very shallow town."
The successful Hollywood impresario, Jack Giarmo (Ben Affleck), has everything his heart desires: a successful career, money and a beautiful wife, Nina (Rebecca Romijn). Still, Jack continues to feel that something is missing from his life and he takes a writing course to discover his feelings. Then when Jack finds out that his wife is cheating on him with his most important client, his perfect life begins to show cracks. When his diary is also stolen by an ambitious journalist, the problems really start. The secrets in his diary could spell the end of Jack's career and private life. Jack has to wriggle in all sorts of ways to get out of this.

A film with somewhat fun moments, but overall too thin to catch on as a drama or as a comedy. The scenes with John Cleese are still the best and even he has made many better movies. Ben Affleck has to carry the film and fails to do so. One scene with Cleese and you've already forgotten him. A very boring character that you never get a feel for.
The film style of transitioning from one scene to another is nicely done by Binder, but that's about it. Just like the conversation with the aquarium between Jack and Nina, although we've seen that x times before.
So nothing memorable, and certainly not if that movie starts again after 10 o'clock in the evening. More of a fun movie for the smaller TV channels. No more.

Typically one of those movies that you barely know what it was about the next day. Mike Binder can do much better. In the absence of a good story, Rebecca Romijn (what a picture!) should have been portrayed more often.

Best a fun movie.
It's another comedy that isn't particularly funny and a drama that isn't really that dramatic. You see these kind of hermaphrodite movies more often lately. But I still laughed out loud a few times.
The biggest downside to the movie though is that stupid Chinese, what an annoying person that is.
Still quite an entertaining film, in which all the storylines come together wonderfully chaotic at the end.
