A good movie - but not a great movie
After reading through the other reviews, having watched this one a few days ago I thought I should chime in. It's pretty clear that people have a mixed reaction to this one. Love, hate, and like me, middle of the road. Is this a good movie? Yes. Is it a great movie. No. Is it worth the time it takes to watch it? If you are just hanging around bored I would say yes, should you postpone important plans to watch this ASAP? No, definitely not. It is funny, it does have hot girls, the story is a bit uninspired but hasn't every single iteration of every comedy ever made already been churned out? Compared to a lot of trashcan garbage I have been seeing lately this was a welcome change to be honest.

Exchanging sexual favors for a coveted job happens in every industry; however, in Hollywood, casting couch stories are especially prevalent.
Exchanging sexual favors for a coveted job happens in every industry; however, in Hollywood, casting couch stories are especially prevalent.
Before celebrities catch their big breaks in Hollywood, they have to go through what every other aspiring star has to go through - auditioning. There is so much competition in Hollywood that some struggling actors/actresses will do whatever it takes to get the role. This desperateness on one end, and surplus of power on the other end, has led to the 'casting couch' mentality in the entertainment industry. The 'casting couch' refers to the exchange of sexual favors for film roles between casting directors or film producers and aspiring actresses or actors. Many Hollywood executives deny that the 'casting couch' exists in the entertainment industry, but these celebrities disagree. Here are twelve celebrities' casting couch horror stories.
Back in the 1960's, Joan Collins was trying to make a name for herself in Hollywood. She was auditioning for the role of Cleopatra and was the front runner for the part. Collins reports that she was asked to go to bed with the head of the studio and that he asked her if she really wanted the part. She replied, "Yes." He responded, "Well, then you'll have to be nice to me." Joan turned down his advance by walking out and Elizabeth Taylor ended up getting the role.
In 2011, Corey Feldman did an interview with Nightline , where he stated several shocking comments. Feldman commented, "I can tell you that the No. 1 problem in Hollywood was and is and always will be pedophilia. That’s the biggest problem for children in this industry … It’s the big secret.” He added, “I was surrounded by [pedophiles] when I was 14 years old … Didn’t even know it. It wasn’t until I was old enough to realize what they were and what they wanted … till I went, Oh, my God. They were everywhere.” Feldman, now in his 40's, released a memoir in 2013 that detailed the sexual abuse that him and the late actor, Corey Haim experienced as child actors in Hollywood.
In 1998, Jenny McCarthy spoke with Movielin e about a casting couch horror story that she had endured while auditioning for the film, Under Siege 2 . McCarthy even revealed the alleged harasser, as Steven Seagal . Jenny explained that she was the last girl to audition for the day and she entered Seagal's office, stating, "Well, I'm ready to read." According to McCarthy, Steven replied, "Stand up, you have to be kind of sexy in the movie and in that dress, I can’t tell." Jenny stood up and Seagul stated, "Take off your dress." Jenny questioned and Steven replied, "There's nudity." She said, "No there's not, or I wouldn't be here right now." Jenny ended up crying and running out of his office. Steven Seagul has since denied these allegation.
In the November 2012 issue of Elle , Susan Sarandon revealed a casting couch nightmare that had occurred when she first started out in New York City. The Oscar winning actress stated, "I just went into a room, and a guy practically threw me on the desk. It was my early days in New York, and it was really disgusting. It wasn’t like I gave it a second thought. It was so badly done." Susan Sarandon has gone on to have a very successful career and is now worth an estimated $50 million.
In April 2010, Ryan Phillippe told Howard Stern while appearing on his radio talk show about a bizarre casting couch experience he had. Ryan said when he was 19-years-old that he had to flee a "creepy" casting-couch session. Phillippe never publicly went into further details regarding the incident. However, his story shows that casting-couch victims aren't only females. They're males too.
In 2010, Gwyneth Paltrow was asked by Elle magazine during an interview if she ever had a casting-couch experience. Paltrow responded, "Yup." She added, "When I was just starting out, someone suggested that we finish a meeting in the bedroom. I left. I was pretty shocked. I could see how someone who didn’t know better might worry, ‘My career will be ruined if I don’t give this guy a bl** j**!’" Clearly declining this man's advance wasn't detrimental to Paltrow's career. She has starred in films like Shakespeare in Love, Iron Man, Se7en and Country Song . Gwyneth is also an Oscar winner and worth an estimated $45 million.
Marilyn Monroe had many casting-couch experiences, but unlike the other celebrities mentioned, Monroe took up these offers. She traded sexual favors with producers, directors and actors to get ahead in her career. According to Barbara Leaming's biography on Marilyn Monroe “When Marilyn approached Howard Hawks one weekend in Palm Springs, the director made it clear that he saw nothing special about her. He thought she was stupid and told her so. He wasn't even interested in a sexual encounter.” - Ouch! Although Marilyn Monroe admitted to sleeping with people to advance her career, she would later call Hollywood 'an overcrowded brothel.'

Many stars of both genders and all ages in Hollywood , Europe, India, China, and elsewhere have complained of being sexually harassed or even assaulted by big-name studio executives, producers, directors, or fellow actors.
Often, the stars refuse demands to trade sex for movie roles, but on occasion, some succumb. Whether they do or not, most of these celebrities have not identified their abusers for a variety of reasons, including their fear of committing career suicide. The stars on this list are different: These 10 casting couch victims dared to name names.
Even when it was clear to him that actress Corinne Calvet lacked the talent to become the next Greta Garbo or Ingrid Bergman, Paramount Pictures producer Hal Wallis continued to show interest in Calvet. According to her autobiography, Has Corinne Been a Good Girl? (1983), Wallis expected her to have sex with him in exchange for her starring in the studio’s 1949 film Rope of Sand .
However, Calvet was unwilling to trade sex for a role in the film . She was a married woman, she told him. Allegedly, he countered by stating that her marriage was merely one of convenience, suggested by him as good for publicity. Wallis dropped her option in 1953.
To avenge herself, she had sex with him while she was sick. The next day, Wallis developed a strep throat. Calvet sent him four dozen roses with a get-well-soon card and a note: “Next time, I’ll give you something worse. Best wishes for your recovery.” [1]
According to Theresa Russell , she was propositioned by Sam Spiegel, the producer of the 1976 movie The Last Tycoon in which she starred with Robert De Niro. If she refused to have sex with Spiegel, he’d destroy her career, Spiegel told her. Russell refused. “If it meant the end of my career, then I don’t have a career,” she told an interviewer. As it turned out, she was cast anyway.
She said the experience didn’t influence or affect her portrayal of Marilyn Monroe in Insignificance (1985) opposite Michael Emil, despite Monroe’s also having been subjected to unwanted sexual advances during her acting career. “They were unrelated,” she said. [2]
Bruce Robinson landed his role as Benvolio in Romeo and Juliet (1968) after Italian director Franco Zeffirelli performed oral sex on the twentysomething actor. Robinson discussed the incident on a 1998 edition of The Ruby Wax Show .
He’d just left acting school, he said, and Zeffirelli’s film was his big break. When Robinson went to the director’s apartment in downtown Rome , Zeffirelli, who’d just returned home from a trip, sat next to Robinson on the couch and gave him a French kiss.
Robinson said that his host didn’t “bum” him, but the experience was traumatic because Robinson isn’t homosexual. He said that he succumbed to Zeffirelli’s uninvited overtures “because getting the part seemed to be so important.” [3]
Jenny McCarthy said that Steven Seagal ordered her to strip during a casting call for his 1995 movie Under Siege 2 . After inviting her to take a seat on his couch, Seagal asked, “So, you were Playmate of the Year?”
He then told her to take off her dress, at which point McCarthy told him to “rent [her] Playboy video,” started crying, and fled his office. McCarthy said Seagal warned her not to tell anyone about the incident.
In 1998, in a Penthouse magazine feature, nine other women said Seagal had harassed them.
In 2001, Patricia Nichols sued Seagal for “inappropriate comments . . . and actions.” Seagal contended that he was being “shaken down.” The jury determined that Seagal had slandered Nichols but didn’t award her any damages.
In 2010, his former executive assistant, Kayden Nguyen, sued Seagal for sexual harassment and human trafficking . Nguyen said that the actor had held her for six days against her will in a home in Louisiana where he sexually assaulted her three times.
Seagal’s lawyer denied Nguyen’s allegations, characterizing them as a “ridiculous and absurd claim by a disgruntled ex-employee who was fired for using illegal narcotics.” [4]
In her 2005 New York Times best-selling autobiography , A Lotus Grows in the Mud , Goldie Hawn recounts the time that cartoonist Al Capp, creator of the comic strip Li’l Abner , exposed himself to her.
Capp arranged to audition her in his New York City apartment. He wanted to consider her for the part of Tenderlief Ericsson, a new character he’d created for a television series. Soon after she arrived at his apartment, Capp excused himself, returning in a silk dressing gown.
After Hawn poured tea for them, as Capp had asked, he promised to hire an acting coach for her “if this works out today.” During her audition, he asked to see her legs, telling her to lift her dress higher and higher until she balked. She said that she needed to leave so she didn’t miss her train.
Capp asked her to sit beside him on his couch. Reluctantly, she did and saw he’d parted his robe to “reveal a flaccid penis resting heavily against his wooden leg.” [5]
When Hawn told him she’d never “get a job like this,” he angrily dismissed her, advising her to “marry a Jewish dentist [because she’d] never get anywhere in this business.” On her way out of the building, she realized that the butler and doorman were Capp’s accomplices.
Marilyn Monroe warned Joan Collins about studio executive Darryl Zanuck’s casting couch. If he didn’t “get what he [wanted],” Monroe said, he’d drop Collins’s contract.
A few days later, Collins said, Zanuck propositioned her, telling her that he was Hollywood’s “biggest” and had the stamina to “go all night.” Despite Monroe’s warning, Collins was so shocked that she couldn’t think of a reply. She freed herself from his grasp and quickly returned to the set. [6]
Collins believes that her career didn’t attain the full degree of success it might have enjoyed due in part to the casting couch mindset of studio executives like Zanuck, one of the period’s infamous womanizers. She said that she failed to secure the lead role in the 1963 movie Cleopatra because she refused to “be nice” to some of Hollywood’s key players.
David Cameron , who was the United Kingdom’s prime minister when English producer and director Michael Winner died, didn’t show up for Winner’s funeral. Former prime ministers Tony Blair, Gordon Brown, and Nick Clegg didn’t, either. The royals were also no-shows.
Their absences may have had something to do with Winner’s treatment of Dame Helen Mirren . The “insulting and sexist” director of Death Wish treated the actress “like a piece of meat,” Mirren said.
