"Brooks shows off all his comedic ambition by making a slapstick silent movie, the first feature length silent movie in over three decades. The film is about a filmmaker with a plan to make a silent film to save a small penniless studio. Though the project is admirable, it finds it hard to keep the same energy all troughout; it goes a little downhill. However, sprinkled with some cameos from some of the biggest names of the times, like Newman, Caan and Bancroft, this film remains a gem."
