Bobby, a young man from New York, moved west to Hollywood to work with his uncle. Phil Stern Bobby's uncle and star agent, hires him to run errands for him, While there he falls in love with his uncle's secretary, Vonnie. When he decides to move back home he wants to take her with him. She decides not to go because she is in a relationship. When he goes home he falls in love and runs a new club his brother owns.

This is a movie that is very eye catching but it was overall a very weak movie. The costumes, the make up, and the sets were beautiful. They were well thought out and well placed but that is about where the movie's greatness ends.

The plot was very weak and very bland. It's appeal to draw you in was the beauty and the music but when you go there to see the film it relied heavily on a relationship to happened that wasn't very interesting to begin with. When you watch Jesse Eisenberg, a man who have been brilliant in other film, and try to make a "lover story for the ages" romance with Kristen Stewart, is has done nothing brilliant in her career, it's not going to end well. Kristen Stewart is not a good actress everything she says it's always under enthusiastic and it's like her acting is just a sarcastic joke to her. She has no live in her when she acts. It's very stressful to watch her on the screen because she just doesn't seem like she want to be there.

Because of this I think that all of the actors suffered. Jesse Eisenbug, who I have not seen a performance from him that I didn't like, was lacking in his performance. The same thing with Steve Carell as well. He was not nearly as good as I thought he was going to be. Instead of them inspiring Kristen Stewart into being a better actor they all lowered they skill set to match hers.

In all in all they really could have picked a much better person to play Vonnie and the film would have been much better. However, the only thing that can come from this is how the set designers can make a film more appealing that what it really ends up being.
