Hollywood Dreams Reviews
New York Daily News
Elizabeth Weitzman
The biggest problem is inexperienced lead Tanna Frederick, who overplays every scene.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Wilmington
Jaglom's Hollywood Dreams are far closer to reality than they might seem. Unfortunately.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
The movie caves in on the issue of charm.
Entertainment Weekly
Owen Gleiberman
[Director] Jaglom's scruffy style doesn't carry it through. He puts enough toxic insincerity on screen to singe, though.
New York Post
V.A. Musetto
Hollywood Dreams is a must for Jaglom fans. For other viewers, it will depend upon how much they can take of Jaglom's improvisational style and Frederick's over-the-top, tear-filled acting.
Seattle Times
Tom Keogh
This is one of Jaglom's most curious and oddly moving films.
Houston Chronicle
Bruce Westbrook
I've been among the unbelievers, but Hollywood Dreams turned me around -- to a point. Perhaps it's because the film is among Jaglom's best, love him or leave him.
Chicago Sun-Times
Mary Houlihan
It's the Hollywood dream factory as seen through [director] Jaglom's lens, and it's often out of focus.
New York Times
Jeannette Catsoulis
Knowing but never jaded, Hollywood Dreams is driven by Ms. Frederick's no-boundaries commitment to her broken character, a performance that's as startling as it is touching.
Los Angeles Times
Lael Loewenstein
Better pruning and different choices might have helped to shape the film into a more cohesive piece, instead of one so desperate to be funny that it sacrifices its honesty.
One Guy's Opinion
Frank Swietek
Another clumsy Jaglom vanity project that's as grating as fingernails on a blackboard.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
Hollywood Dreams is meant to be an insider's tale, but it feels like it comes from the cinema of hangers-on.
AV Club
Tasha Robinson
It's a clunky, slack, directionless film that ultimately heads in a meaningful direction, but makes much of the route there seem unnecessary.
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
The balance of this indie production (Jaglom's 14th) consists of his usual weakly improvised relationship comedy.
Village Voice
Scott Foundas
The 15th film in 35 years written and directed by Henry Jaglom, that love-him-or-hate-him iconoclast of American independent filmmaking, is also one of his warmest.
Kaplan vs. Kaplan
Jeanne Kaplan
This film is too out there for a strong recommendation.
Kaplan vs. Kaplan
David Kaplan
This is a quirky little movie that may have some people heading for the exits before the first 15 minutes have passed.
Groucho Reviews
Peter Canavese
The director lets actors do their thing, to a fault, which makes Frederick's blitzkrieg of a performance often off-putting but occasionally mesmerizing.
TV Guide
Ken Fox
An indifferent stylist at best, [Jaglom's] films stand or fall depending on the talent and appeal of his leads, and he's found a good one in Frederick.
Internet Reviews
Steve Rhodes
An exceedingly modest comedy an annoying motormouth with almost nothing interesting to say. ... If I ever laughed, I don't remember it.
