| Inhalt | An
"aspiring Hollywood actress" (Vinessa Shaw), on a visit to a charming North
England town, has a brief fling with the town undertaker (David Tennant),
who also writes obituaries for the local paper. Returning home, where she
works as a waitress at a Japanese restaurant, she tells everyone about
the handsome "writer" she met on her trip. Unfortunately, he decides to
follow her back to Hollywood, setting up the expected light romantic comedy
with asides as the newcomer gains experience about the goings on in Hollywood.
John Sacksteder.
