Ovation

These Henry Jaglom movies are all the same. The ones with real life girlfriend Tanna Frederick. There's always a semi famous actor cast as a guy who instantly falls in love with her character, and she has to fight him off, basically, and this doesn't do justice to the kind of character-actress that Frederick is, and should be portrayed as. She could be a fantastic friend-of-the-leading-lady in a mainstream feature, and steal it, perhaps. The problem is that Henry puts her too much up front, with every character surrounding her constantly propping her up.

This movie is better than any of the "Maggie Chase" films also including Queen of the Lot and Hollywood Dreams. Jaglom's daughter, Sabrina Jaglom, is and has always been a gorgeous girl, but even she's not given the push that's needed to use these kind of movies as Actor Reels for bigger and better things.
