James L. Brooks' showbiz comedy I'll Do Anything is "The Musical That Almost Was" (after test screenings Brooks removed all the musical numbers in the film, turning the film into a songless romantic comedy). Matt Hobbs (Nick Nolte) is a hardly working actor who finds himself raising his 6-year-old daughter Jeannie (Whittni Wright) after her mother Beth (Tracey Ullman) is sent away to prison. Since Matt now has to support a daughter, he has to develop more regular work habits. As a result, he takes a job as a chauffeur for a William Castle-inspired schlockmeister named Burke Adler (Albert Brooks). As Adler develops a relationship with divorced test-marketing researcher Nan Mulhanney (Julie Kavner), Matt becomes romantically attached to beautiful development executive Cathy Breslow (Joely Richardson). ~ Paul Brenner, Rovi

    This was one of my favorite movies growing up, and it still is! The little girl in this movie is funny, smart and an all around great little actress! I'm not even a Nick Nolte fan, and I liked him as well. I recommend this for anyone that wants a true "warm and fuzzy".

    This movie was a pleasant surprise. It could have been just another tired take on the emotionally stunted father suddenly gaining custody of an overbearingly precocious child--but with good actors and great dialogue, I found it to be funny, smart, and quite touching.
