It's a futuristic ride thru the glamour (and the underbelly) of becoming a star. It has an original plot; it reaches for a holographic heaven for all our favorite movies (and yes you get to act with Brando in the Godfather). It seemlessly shows the underpinnings of what it feels like to be on top in Hollywood (and how easily you can fall down the rungs).
Ben Train-the world's greatest actor-put himself into a coma after losing the Oscar (which even the winner knew he should have won) and slept away the pain for decades.
Jennifer Blacktide-his biggest fan-vows to find him and help him if she can. She enlists her two friends Fred Jamby and Scott Giddy to go with her (leaving everything behind).
It's never: boring, slow, or heavy handed. Not for kids. There are adult themes and a dozen expletives. Yes to everyone else, artfully written and a great buy. ( )
