if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
Your Studio and You is a 1995 short film about Universal studios made by Trey Parker and Matt Stone, future creators of South Park.Your Studio and You is very funny and has an all star cast which includes Demi Moore,Sylvester Stallone,James Cameron,Trey & Matt themselves and plenty of others.Your Studio and You is basically a spoof of those 1950's educational films(even shot in black and white) and its about how they can make universal studios better! If you have not seen this, you should check it out because it is very funny.You can find it on youtube.9/10
Do yourself a favor. Go to Google and type in "Your Studio and You" and then hit the Video button. This will bring up a wonderful short film that very few people have actually seen--Matt Stone's and Trey Parker's film made to inaugurate the purchase of Universal Studios by Seagrams. I assume it was meant to be shown at a corporate meeting or stockholders meeting--the public at large wasn't shown this film. This is really a shame, as it's amazingly clever and cute and deserves to be seen by the ignorant masses! The film is narrated by Trey Parker and the whole thing has the look of a 1950s corporate film--complete with black & white camera-work and cheerfully bland 50s elevator music. What makes it even funnier are the completely happy mood (almost as if the participants are drugged), the constant references to Seagrams Wine Coolers and the bizarre references to deer lawn ornaments. In addition to the kooky atmosphere, the writing is exceptional and it's really neat to see many of the studio's talent acting in this film. While not exhaustive, you can see Steven Spielberg (as a tour guide), James Cameron, Demi Moore and Sylvester Stallone (who has fun poking fun of his dumb-guy image).The bottom line is that this is an exceptionally funny and cute film. Even if you don't like SOUTH PARK, this film should make you laugh. However, there is a bit of rough language, so this is not a film for the little ones.
If you know anything about Hollywood then watch this you will laugh your butt off! It's worth finding it just to see James Cameron plant trees and say "Sweeten, enhance, beautify"! Really fun short!
This is a terrific parody of 1950's informational films. It's an underground Hollywood movie, just like Parker and Stone's "Spirit of Christmas," which prompted South Park. It's a very funny, tongue in cheek look at Hollywood.
