Small town hairdresser Gail Daughtry is engaged to her devoted high school sweetheart, Tom. Her life takes a turn when a trip to a book signing leads to Tom meeting -- and sleeping -- with his "celebrity pass". Reeling from the betrayal, Gail impulsively joins her friend Otto on a trip to Los Angeles, where a psychic convinces Gail that the only way to save her marriage is to "even the scales" with her own celebrity pass: Jon Hamm. Thus begins an epic journey through Tinseltown as Gail and Otto join forces with a talent agency assistant, a paparazzo, and actor John Slattery, all in the search for Hamm. Along the way, they collide with celebrities and are hunted by a group of Italian assassins as they get ever closer to finding the elusive star.

A parody that’s not really parodying anything in particular. Everyone is committed to the bit though, whatever the bit might actually be, and the fun that they’re all having is infectious enough to sweep us along too. Go to Full Review

Not all worlds need to be visited and not all passes need to be cashed — you’d be better off (and more entertained) giving yourself over to an earlier Wain film than taking the yellow brick road to this film. Go to Full Review
