Product Description

Jeanne (Florence Foresti) is a French voice artist who dubs an American actress in a hit TV series. But one day, the American actress blows a fuse and announces she’s retiring from acting for good. As a result, Jeanne’s life comes crashing down: no more work, no more income, nothing. Jeanne realises there’s only one thing she can do, and it’s a hell of a long shot. She takes her destiny in hand and decides to do what on the face of it seems impossible. She’s going to Los Angeles to find the American star and convince her to head back on set! Stateside, she initially runs into trouble, but then meets Farres (Jamel Debbouze), who opens doors for her onto the wonderful and sometimes wacky world of Hollywood.

5.0 out of 5 stars Slight, but magnificent 10 Aug 2012
By Martin Turner HALL OF FAME TOP 50 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Format:DVD
Hollywoo is a Gallic take on Hollywood, half in French (subtitled) and half in English. A middle-aged Fench VoiceOver artist discovers her career is finished when the Hollywood actress who she dubs (badly) into French quits the soap opera. Rather than do something sensible, she travels to Hollywood, can't get admittance to the star's residence, or anywhere else, and eventually takes up with a loopy French con man who gets her into places.

When things take off, they don't go bananas, and this is more of a chuckler than a gut-laugher (except for the wonderful moment near the end from which the film gets its name). What is magnificent is the cast of wonderfully observed minor characters from a useless hotel do-it-all to a frustrated PA, a maniacal security guard, a gang of rappers, a would be Starsky and Hutch police combo and a bored passport officer. Half the characters are slightly crackers, and the other half are doing things which are crackers because it's the American system.

Great bilingual entertainment. The French is relatively easy and clear, if you want to watch it to partly improve your language skills.

Slight, but magnificent.
