Customer Reviews of Hollywood North
Quite a worthy and entertaining film I disagree with the previous reviewer of this film. I would concede that Hollywood North is certainly a little jumbled in places, and certainly could have been simplified (ie. elements such as a documentary film of the making of a film which itself is the focus of the story). One element alone justifies the rating I have given it - the performance of Alan Bates as the ageing, rancorous, bigoted, paranoid, coke-snorting Hollywood star Michael Baytes. It is a brilliant portrayal, despite the limitations imposed by the script. Essentially, Hollywood North is about the results that occur when two first-time producers attempt to make a film from a classic Canadian novel in the late 1970s. In addition to Michael Baytes and his rewrites that turn the gentle story into a one-dimensional, John Wayne-style action film, these naive producers have to contend with an over the hill director (John Neville), a nymphomaniacal lead actress (Jennifer Tilly), and various other problems. It is certainly not a perfect film, but it maintains an agreeably light/comic touch.
Not Canada At Its Best
Although I much admire Canadian humor and look forward to Canadian movies, I found this one a great disappointment. It promised to be a fine satire on both Canadian film aspirations and the absurdities of American pop culture. Instead it became an anti-American jumble of meaningless ideas.
