This film would have been decent had the comedy been tempered with some serious situations involving serious people of some intellect. Instead there was very little about serious would-be authors.
Authors Anonymous gives endless repetition of naive stupidity involving members of what has to be the Keystone Cops of an alleged writing group.
And its a shame that the late great Denis Farina winds up portraying the most deluded and pompous member of the group revealed as naive buffoon.
As a self published author I found it amazing the lack of talent exhibited in this group and the almost slapstick manner in which they thought success would be found.
Aside from Farina's character, who had no idea that promotion was the key to sales of his book to Kaley Cuoco, who almost functionally illiterate, becomes a best selling author, I had hope there would be some redeeming message in this film...there wasn't, except offering a book agent a good deal on carpet cleaning can be a key to success.
