On Broadway

I'm sure many of you thought that this would be a biography about George Benson, but that film is called "Gimme the Night". No this film is a comic drama or a dramedy or whatever fancy label you want to attach to it.

I prefer just to call it a very good film about a guy from Boston whose uncle dies, so he decides to write a play about it and put it on in a bar. It stars Joey Mcintyre. Yep that Joey Mcintyre. He's great in this film as the main character. The film has so many great moments that we've all shared with our family, the good and the bad. It's a heartwarming film without being cheesy. It also has Eliza Dushku, Mike O'Malley, Wil Arnett and Amy Poehler. The producer Lance Greene (who is also in it) and director Dave McLaughlin will be coming out to the Fest to represent. So come by and shake their hands and congratulate them on this great flick.

As I promised previously I'm going to advise you to check this one out. It's got drama, comedy and good performances. What more do you need? Maybe George Benson would be a nice touch, but you can't have everything.
