Mona, a shy, unassuming housewife with no theatrical ambitions to speak of, finds herself unexpectedly cast in a small local theatre production, thrust into the orbit of Jerry, its demanding, larger-than-life director. As Mona navigates the unfamiliar, high-stakes world of amateur theatre under Jerry's exacting guidance, writer-director Jesse Eisenberg's musical comedy finds warmth and wit in the unlikely space between ordinary domestic life and creative self-discovery, anchored by Julianne Moore and Paul Giamatti. A warm, wittily observed musical comedy that finds real charm in its unlikely creative-awakening premise, Julianne Moore and Paul Giamatti delivering a perfectly matched comic pairing.
