Chump Change ( 1995 )

The movie Hollywood doesn´t want you to see!

Funnyman Jerry Stiller (Zoolander, TV´s The King of Queens), Tim Matheson (Van Wilder, Animal House), Traci Lords (Blade) and Fred Willard (American Wedding, A Mighty Wind) poke merciless fun at the overblown culture of Hollywood in this award-winning comedy (Winner Audience Award - Best Feature and Best Actress - HBO U.S. Comedy Arts Festival 2001). When TV´s Merv Griffin sues him, a frustrated commercial actor called "Milwaukee Steve" (Stephen Burrows) unwittingly stumbles into the notoriety he´s longed for! As he rides the wave of undeserved popularity, Steve discovers that life in Hollywood´s fleeting limelight can be just as maddening as rejection! But even though a return to his childhood home of Milwaukee doesn´t give him what he´s looking for... it might just get him what he needs! In the irreverent tradition of Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back, you´ll laugh out loud as this hilarious comedy dares to compare the insane business of Hollywood with the equally insane, but completely mundane, routine Midwestern life!
