So many problems

Rating: 2/10 (24 February 2014)

Shane O'Shea (Ryan Phillippe) is an innocent Jersey kid who is star-struck by the bright lights of Manhattan and wishes to meet stars like Julie Black (Neve Campbell) in Studio 54. Club owner Steve Rubell (Mike Myers) lets Shane in and ends up hiring the pretty kid as a bus boy. He befriends fellow employees Anita Randazzo (Salma Hayek) and Greg Randazzo (Breckin Meyer) who are trying to launch Anita's singing career. Meanwhile Rubell rules the club like a modern Caligula dealing drugs and getting the attention of the IRS.
This is a cliché filled glossy superficial movie. It starts with the naive innocent that we're suppose to see this movie through. Shane is way too stupid, and his sycophant voice overs don't make it any better. Then there is Mike Myers. I do not begrudge anybody for taking a risk. However he is so out of his depths. In a better actor's hands, this could have been an amazing character. His amoral sleaziness could be a movie all by itself. Instead this is strictly a cliché factory. It annoyed me to no ends.
