Maverick indie filmmaker Henry Jaglom moves from the sweet poignancy of his 2009 Irene in Time to knowing Hollywood satire with this romantic comedy that finds him teaming with actress Tanna Frederick for the third time. Frederick portrays Maggie Chase, a B-list star who longs to find love and fulfillment and achieve household-name status, but must contend with twin products of her wild behavior: a court-ordered electronic ankle bracelet and temporary house arrest. Fortunately, Maggie has a team of clever spin doctors (Ron Vignone, David Proval, Zack Norman, and Diane Salinger), who manage to turn her drunk-driving activities into attention-grabbing tabloid fodder. She also draws on the support of a movie-star beau, Dov Lambert (Christopher Rydell), equally known for his no-holds-barred behavior. For a time, it looks as though Maggie's grandest dreams will actualize, as her national fame crescendos, but her life grows more complicated when she follows Dov home to meet his kin, and runs headfirst into a series of show-business legends (played by Peter Bogdanovich, Dennis Christopher, Kathryn Crosby, Mary Crosby, Sabrina Jaglom, and Jack Heller). She also meets Dov's brother, failed writer Aaron Lambert (Noah Wyle), who seems tailor-made for Maggie with his ability to penetrate her superficial facades, but must deal with lingering issues in his own life and past. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi

The late velvet voiced crooner Bing Crosby headlined the 1967 television special, Bing Crosby: A Little Bit of Irish, which originally aired on American networks. Shot live in Dublin circa 1966 as a tribute to the country of St. Patrick and the great potato famine, A Little Bit of Irish features Crosby and a series of guests - among them Milo O'Shea, The Guinness Choir, and John McNally -- performing a plethora of Irish ballads - an area of song for which Crosby became well known via his recordings. Eighteen numbers are sung in this hour-long event; the tracks include the much-beloved "Molly Malone," "Macnamara's Band,""The Boys of Wexford," "Courtin' in the Kitchen," "I'm Off to Philadelphia," and "Isle of Innisfree." ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi
