Overnight (2003, Documentary by Tony Montana) Grade: B-
It's not riveting but it's quite entertaining to watch somebody who thinks the world should bow at their feet get what they've always wanted and then be stripped of it all. Troy Duffy sure thinks highly of himself. While being in a band 'The Brood' he writes a script called 'The Boondock Saints' which gets the attention of Harvey Weinstein. Troy is offered one of the biggest deals at the time and makes magazine covers and media news coverage from the deal. Somebody with no experience gets 1 million dollars, is having his favorite bar that he works at bought by Harvey for him, is given full casting license, gets to direct, has a 15 million dollar budget for his movie, his band gets to do the soundtrack and is offered a record deal and he gets final cut of his movie. He's an overnight success. He's the new "it" boy and the celebs gather around to be a part of all the talk in hollywood. However, Troy's you should do as I say attitude shows who really controls Hollywood. Everything begins to crumble around him. I wondered if Quentin Tarantino had the same attitude.
