Seen on 20-8-2009 - HBO movie
Cast: Frankie Muniz (Jason), Amanda Bynes (Kaylee)
Dir.: Shawn Levy
"Junior high school students Jason and Kaylee are a couple of precocious kids who want to see (screen) credit where credit is due. After a greedy Hollywood producer turns Jason's essay into a hit film -- and leaves Jason's name on the proverbial cutting room floor -- the youngsters travel to Hollywood to twist a few arms for some payback. Tinseltown moral: Don't double-cross teens with driving permits!"--A Netflix summary.
---Is TRUTH OVERRATED? The movie is a hilarious comedy trying to prove that TRUTH IS NOT OVERRATED.
--It now occurs to me that the paradox at the heart of the film is that it seeks to demonstrate that truth cannot be overrated by using a compulsive liar of a boy who is understandably a budding inventive writer capable of helping the impoverished Hollywood producer. And doesn't a fictionist writer always try to reach truth through an imaginative lie?
