Pacino is an incredible actor,probably the only one who tried to make something special out of this move. A wonderful spoof on all the hyped up no talent acts that are out in the world today,Pacino does a fine job as a has been producer creating a talent from his own imagination. How close to the real world when we see Simone become a star,and the idol of millions all due to Pacino's imagination. think about today's so called musical and film stars and see if this film doesn't remind you of them.A change of pace for Al when he made this movie but not one that will gain him new fans, he is more effective in darker movies,though he has tried some light comedy to mention "Author,Author", "Dick Tracey", "Frankie and Johnny" he is better suited to tight drama. To see Pacino at this best check the underrated "Glengarry Glenross" and see what acting is all about when you have a great ensemble cast and brilliant script.
