An original (non-formula) American story with quirky and diverse characters. Nothing about the film is outstanding. However, it is amazing how well everyone sings and seems to be liberated by the experience. It made me want to go out to a Karioke bar myself. In addition to her amazing acting (not so much in this film), Ms. Paltrow can sing as well as Huey Lewis (sorry Huey).

Permanent Midnight
(1998)
Junkie LA screenwriter screws up and Hurley, hits bottom, rehab, finds love, looses and writes book..
7 April 2001
Stiller is excellent and Hurley looks good. Writing is fabulous. Topic a bit of a downer, and quite a bit of shooting up scenes Not as good as High Art; more LA v. NY. Same message: Love good, junk bad. Life can be very phony.
