Living in Oblivion (1995)


Writer/director Tom DiCillo's behind-the-scenes comedy-of-errors is 
good for a few laughs, especially whenever James LeGros (no relation) 
is on screen.  He plays a preening, blonde up-and-comer who bears no 
small resemblance to Brad Pitt (who starred in DiCillo's 1992 film 
"Johnny Suede").  The rest of the appealing cast includes Steve 
Buscemi, Catherine Keener, and Dermon Mulroney.  They do well in this 
extended inside joke that's undermined by a shaggy-dog story 
structure.  
 
Grade: C+
