(1 - 25) of 25 OFCS Rating: 60% Fresh Page   1   "Promises to rattle the very foundation of the movie industry, but delivers a series of observations most people could probably guess on their own."   ReelTalk Movie Reviews   A. J. Hakari .5/5 "What Just Happened? commits so many cardinal motion picture sins that it should be excommunicated from the entertainment arena on principle alone."   PopMatters   Bill Gibron 4/5 "feels fresh and original thanks to Levinson's phenomenal direction"   Filmcritic.com   Blake French B+ "Levinson's knowledge on the subject mixed with Linson's wonderland atmosphere of spoiled brats and spineless fools makes for a riveting, uproarious viewing experience."   BrianOrndorf.com   Brian Orndorf B "Filled with inside humor about things like the importance of premiering certain kinds of films at Cannes, Levinson's latest comedy confirmed the first rule of success in the film business; "nobody knows nothing.""   ColeSmithey.com   Cole Smithey 4/10 "Less an expose than a recap of what even casual observers of the industry know or intuit, What Just Happened relies on clichés even as it deplores them."   PopMatters   Cynthia Fuchs 2/4 "...an utterly disappointing misfire."   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair B "Insider's satire on the backroom business aspects of Hollywood."   Ozus' World Movie Reviews   Dennis Schwartz B- "It's esoteric, and its audience is small, but if you're part of it, you know who you are."   Film Blather   Eugene Novikov 2.5/4 "Although slightly scathing in its cynical look at highly paid Hollywood hacks rambunctiously jumping through artistic creative hoops, Happened is impishly on the spot in its aimless ribbing at movie wheeling-and-dealing madness."   Movie Eye   Frank Ochieng C "A picture skewering the inanities of the filmmaking system needs more sharpness and bite than this one provides."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 2/5 "A not very fresh or funny glimpse of power players in Hollywood."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat 3/5 "Showbiz satire is too edgy, 'insidery' for kids."   Common Sense Media   James Rocchi 2/5 "prospathei na se peisei oti kanei tainia poy dagkonei to systima, tin ora poy o anthropos poy eihe grapsei to biblio, [...] sti metagrafi ton peristatikon toy biografimatos toy se senario, kanei ayto poy epi seira eton prospathoyse na mathei toys dimioyrg"   Movies for the Masses   Joseph Proimakis 2/5 "A film has not been this aptly titled since Paycheck...succeeds in giving us plebes a peek at what the Hollywood Elite suffer to entertain us, but it does nothing to atone for the results"   Cinerina   Karina Montgomery B "...an amusing look at a dog eat dog culture where vicious battles are fought over whether or not a dog can get shot in make believe land."   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford 2.5/4 "Polished, coherent, rich with internal consistency... and sacrilegious for believers in The Movies"   Movie Habit   Marty Mapes 3/5 "Forget inside baseball, this film comes across more like inside whiffleball than anything else--a simulacrum that looks sort of like the real thing but which never runs the risk of hitting as hard as the real thing."   eFilmCritic.com   Peter Sobczynski 4/5 "Taken from his own memoirs, Linson's screenplay has a zing of truth as it cuts through the layers of Hollywood mayhem to tell a thoroughly hilarious and surprisingly involving story of a man on the edge of a nervous breakdown."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline 4/5 "Every character is sharp and complicated, with especially witty turns by Willis and Penn as amusingly exaggerated versions of themselves."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline C "It is hard to empathize with the petty problems of people living in luxurious houses the size of hotels when so many people in American have lost their homes."   Laramie Movie Scope   Robert Roten 7/10 "Not something to be taken too seriously, De Niro's latest comedic flight is completely entertaining with most thanks going to supporting cast Catherine Keener and John Turturro"   Monsters and Critics   Ron Wilkinson 3/5 "Really, how many times will you get to see Bruce Willis, Sean Penn, and Robert De Niro work together? (And in a comedy, no less.)"   Cinematical   Scott Weinberg 7/10 "Coming from a Hollywood background, I'm often asked about the social hierarchy of TinselTown. Here's an insider's snappy, satirical glimpse into that treacherous industry."   SSG Syndicate   Susan Granger "Click here to see review"   Wolf Entertainment Guide   William Wolf  (1 - 25) of 25 OFCS Rating: 60% Fresh Page   1
