From Hollywood to Hollywood (2010) User Reviews

A self-referential comedy about the Pierson brothers who want to become Hollywood stars by making their own film.

[klausming · 5/10 · 13 December 2010]

As their first feature film, From Hollywood to Hollywood is an ambitious project with some respectable production values for amateur film makers the Bushaw brothers, who single-handedly produce, shoot, direct and star in a self-referential comedy about the Pierson brothers who want to become Hollywood stars by making their own film. Conceptually, there is a great deal of potential in the basic premise which contains some pretty funny scenarios and flirts with some interesting ideas, but which unfortunately is not as well-developed as it might have been. Rather than presenting the Pierson brothers' fictional screenplay "This Wells Wish" as a brief comedic gag, the Bushaws could have exploited this concept and depicted themselves in pseudo-documentary style filming From Hollywood to Hollywood – in what would have been a fictional version of "American Movie" (1999) – complete with a cast of amateur actors with regular lives struggling to make their first feature film.
