I read an article on how and why this movie went straight to video. It's not because it was bad or wouldn't find its audience. It's actually pretty good, light comedy. Not a great one, but very watchable with many industry-insider jokes. Movie has lots of references to Clueless movie of the same director and the TV series based on the same movie. It shows in using the same actors and the "show within the show" set. Michelle Pfeifer looks gorgeous and Paul Rudd is cute and funny. The scene stealer again is talented Saoirse Ronan (pre Atonment). Daughter and mother relationship is sweet and moving. I also appreciated although somewhat puzzled by the use of British actors in many small and slightly bigger parts. This movie is a comedy that is created for the audience to relax and enjoy. It doesn't venture into the "truth" territory on what really happens with older mentor and younger protégé and how their real career and personal paths turn out to be in real life. This movie is fairly enjoyable even though far from cultural phenomenon that Clueless became.
