Member Rating:  
A talented character actor with an undeniable presence on the screen but an uncanny track record of losing roles to more marketable "name" actors decides to take matters into his own hands after losing out on one too many roles in director Monika Mitchell's blood-soaked showbiz satire. Max Matteo (John Cassini) knows that he has what it takes to make it as an actor, but it always seems like there's a producer's nephew just waiting in the wings to snatch the role just out from under him. Now, with nothing left to lose but the role that will most certainly be offered to someone else before the cameras start to role, Max decides to take his fate - as well as various blunt objects - in his hands to ensure a long and rewarding career in a business where there's truly no room for the weak. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

    Appealing most, I should guess, to those in the “acting” trade and anyone who follows (or has much interest in) it, BREAK A LEG is a dryly funny look at what happens when good actors go bad. Featuring an ensemble of "knowns" and unknowns, all of them quite good, the movie stars the pert and talented John Cassini, who co-wrote the film with his brother Frank. Mr. Cassini is terrific in all of the “roles” we see him play but only OK when he’s simply being “himself” as the lead (this may be his final comment--as actor/writer--on actors and acting). The film grows crazier and funnier as it moves long, until at last it goes out in a blaze of “acting” glory. Does EVERYONE want to be a performer? From the looks of things here, only those who live in Southern California. This movie, directed by Monika Mitchell, is original and a whole lot of fun.
