Alan Alda directs and stars in this interesting comedy about a Pulitzer Prize winning novelist, whose book involves the American Revolution, has Hollywood come to his town to film a movie based on it. However, when Alda reads the script, he finds it tasteless, historically inaccurate, and much unlike his novel. It provides minimal laughs and it's much too unbelievable to be excellent. However, it's humorous enough to be likable.
